I have a piece of furniture that resembles an entertainment Center / Bar. I am sure that is not the proper name for it. I have searched high and low for a piece similar to this one and have been unlucky. I have sought out opinions of Antique Dealers in my local area, but they advise me that they are not furniture appraisers and would not be able to provide and accurate appraisal.
Therefore, I found this forum, in hopes someone could shed the history of this piece and a value, if any.
This is a two piece set. On the top left, there are two pull down doors. The top being a wine rack, im assuming, and the bottom appears to be a secretaries desk (?) On the bottom, when you open it , it shows on label it was made by lane furniture.
The top right has 3 Shelves.
The bottom piece , on the lower right has an door that opens, and 2 trays that are able to pull out, each with different circles cut in them, Im guessing maybe for glasses?
The middle drawer in the bottom piece pulls out and has square slots in it, maybe for more wine??
And the left bottom door is just a en empty cabinet.
The piece is in great condition. This piece is large and very heavy. And very sturdy.

Still in hopes of someone might have some insight on this. Was it used as a bar and to hold wine/liquor? Are the pull outs in the bottom used for glasses? Curiosity lol
Re: Lane Furniture Bar/Entertainment Center
Pieces like this tend to date from the 60's nthrough early 80's and are made of particle board and formica veneers . They are a "hard sell" right now, we retail examples like this for less than $500.00 in the shop.

Okay that cool. Do you know the history on this piece, like what its actually called? I'd like to sell it if I could :-)
