Details
A rare and exceptionally fine example of Danish Modern cabinetmaking. This floating wall-mounted secretary, produced in Denmark circa 1960, is a masterclass in material, form, and function. It transcends the ordinary, showcasing a superior level of artistry and precision in its joinery and construction.
The cabinet is veneered in intensely figured Brazilian Rosewood (Dalbergia nigra), with the drop-front door featuring a breathtaking, perfectly symmetrical book-matched grain that creates a powerful, Rorschach-like pattern. This meticulous application transforms the wood's natural beauty into a captivating work of art. The drawers are joined with exquisite, hand-cut dovetails, a hallmark of uncompromising quality and master-level craftsmanship. The cabinet's compact, jewel-box proportions (650 x 650 mm) make it a versatile and impactful piece for any interior.
Designed to float elegantly on the wall, the cabinet has a light, architectural presence. The form is pure and rectilinear, allowing the richness of the rosewood and the precision of the joinery to take center stage. What distinguishes this piece are its unique, hand-sculpted solid rosewood handles. Their elongated, organic form is a distinct design signature, setting it apart from the more common styles of the period. While the designer and manufacturer remain unidentified, the superlative quality is undeniable. This is not a mass-produced item, but rather the work of a master cabinetmaker from a high-quality furniture factory (Møbelfabrik).
Fully restored and in excellent condition, this versatile piece is perfectly suited for use as a floating entryway console, a sophisticated dry bar, or a compact secretary desk.
