About the Item

This elegant Bauhaus showcase cabinet dates from the early 1930s and exemplifies the refined functionalism of Central European Modernism. Designed in the spirit of Bauhaus principles, the cabinet features a striking rosewood veneer front with expressive grain, contrasted by black lacquered side panels and a precisely executed chromed tubular steel frame. The architectural clarity of the construction is enhanced by sliding glass doors and two interior glass shelves, allowing the cabinet to function equally well as a display vitrine or refined storage piece. The combination of warm wood tones and cool industrial materials reflects the Bauhaus ideal of harmonizing aesthetics, craftsmanship, and modern materials. Likely produced in Germany around 1932, this cabinet stands as a sophisticated example of early Modernist furniture influenced by Bauhaus design without being formally attributed to a specific maker. Professionally restored by skilled conservators, the piece is structurally sound, visually balanced, and fully ready for use. An excellent choice for Modernist and International Style interiors seeking an authentic and timeless design statement.
