Antique 9ft Huntsmen's Front And Back Home Bar

US$12,146.00

For sale is a superb quality 9ft Huntsmen's Front and Back Home Bar. The bar has been fully restored in our workshops and we believe it to be dated at Circa 1840 as it is stamped "Holland and Sons" which were renowned cabinet makers in the 19th century (see history below). The top of the bar has a carved pediment with four finials. The centre of the pediment is decorated with an intricately carved wheatsheaf and an anglo-french text which reads "shame on he who thinks badly of it" in reference to it being a Hunstmen's Bar. The bottom of the pediment has two pieces of stained glass which can have a light placed above them to show the colours on the bar. Below the top there is a large engraved mirror in the centre with one smaller one on either side. The pediment is supported by four elaborately carved columns each with various animals at the top. Below this is the back bar surface which has ample room for drinks etc. Underneath this is the shelf section at the back which has plenty of storage space. The front of the bar has a large top surface with "egg and dart" moulding around the edge. The top of the front bar has an elaborately carved frieze. Below this is the central carved panel which is flanked by ornate carvings on either end. One side shows game and the other shows a rabbit (see pictures for more detail).
