This exceptional corner cabinet is a true rarity, embodying the timeless elegance of Danish craftsmanship from the late 1960s. Based on the design, clean lines, sculpted handles, and tapered legs it resembles renowned Danish manufacturers such as Johannes Sorth for Bornholm Møbelfabrik, Børge Mogensen, or Poul Hundevad, but the maker's mark is no longer intact as with many mid-century pieces.
The upper section features two doors with sculptural-style door pulls, opening to reveal a spacious interior with a practical, height-adjustable shelf, perfect for customizable storage. Below, three gracious drawers, also with sculptural pulls, provide additional organization options.
Designed with optimizing space in mind, this compact cabinet offers a lot, yet takes up little space - fits snugly into a corner. Thoughtful classic door-opening mechanism, this cabinet ensures unrestricted access to its interior. A key is included for added functionality.
We have refreshed this piece to enhance, but preserve its natural patina. A rare and stylish addition to any mid-century or Scandinavian-inspired space. Overall the cabinet is in excellent vintage condition, with minor marks and tiny crazes, consistent with age and use.
While this cabinet sells for well over R40,000 according to research, we are mindful of our buyers in South Africa and strive to offer fair pricing.

Note/Disclaimer:
Our images form part of the item's description. Although all efforts have been made to refurbish our furniture to best represent its original state, it must be noted that most of the items we source date from the 1950s to the late 1970s. For this reason, although restored, signs of their vintage condition and age might still be visible. We will typically point out any visible/notable concerns. Take note of all photos or view the item in-store prior to purchasing.
As with most Mid-Century pieces, it is a good combination of solid wood and a high-quality wood veneer. The history of veneer on furniture is a long and honorable tradition, and it depends on the veneer's artistry, condition, and thickness the quality of the old veneer was long-lasting; for this reason, it can be retouched or sanded and refinished.
