About the Item
MODEL "ØRESUND" OAK BOOKCASE AND EIGHT-DRAWER DRESSER BY BØRGE MOGENSEN
Executed by Karl Andersson
Söner, Sweden circa 1960s; original label inside bookcase
33" H x 53" W x 14 1/4" D [bookcase]
33" H x 53" W x 21 1/2" D [dresser]
Total height 66" [stacked]
ref. 904VPK13Z-1
A striking and fine quality bookcase cabinet from the third quarter of the 20th century, the chest and bookcase were part of his Øresund line of furniture. Crafted with a patinated white oak both in solid woods and veneers, it is finished to a delightful mild blonde.
Unlike many of his mid-century counterparts, the furniture designed by Børge Mogensen and executed by the firm of Karl Andersson
Söner showed traditional attention to detail in the execution. In the present example, this manifests in the use of solid wood core beneath the veneers, employing full dovetailing of the drawers, utilizing tenon-mortise joinery in the bookcase doors and designing the traditional drawer supports that utilize grooves in the wood instead of metal hardware to allow the drawers to smoothly move in the case.
They are rather flexible in the design, both upper and lower fully self-contained and not relying on the other for support. As such, they can be separated into a standing bookcase and matching standing dresser - or stacked, to create a full console bookcase. Both presentations are equally attractive and fully finished.
The upper bookcase retains an original label for Karl Andersson
Söner.
Condition Report: Good original condition with a nicely patinated early surface. Small veneer losses, including the bottom edge of one drawer and chipping at corners/edges of the dresser as well as two spots of veneer loss to the top (see images). Minor scuffs, scratches and blemishes as expected. Spot of discoloration to the top of the dresser and some fading to the top of the bookcase. Overall a fine presentation, ready to place.

Large Art Deco Cerused Oak Display Cabinet Bookcase circa 1940
Located in Shippensburg, PA
ART DECO CERUSED AND EBONIZED OAK DISPLAY CABINET WITH FLANKING BLIND BOOKSHELVES
Probably German, as the locks are of German origin executed circa 1940 with chromed steel accents throughout
Item # 401QGP02S
A fabulous Art Deco era display cabinet, the substantial case piece features a glazed central door flanked by two blind-doors on either side. These open to reveal an adjustably shelved interior, the oak bars on the side allowing the 3/8" thick glass shelves to be flexibly changed to suit the books stored within. The central door features a chromed rim around the glass door that cohesively ties in with the chrome-plated keyhole escutcheons and the chrome base molding on the bottom of the cabinet.
It was probably made in Germany, as one of the locks bears markings of German manufacture, though the craftsman may have simply had a preference for this locking mechanism and imported it. Note the high-grade of cabinet work throughout - all surfaces have been carefully veneered with a cerused and ebonized oak, the interior of the center display area with a red-stained cerused oak and the interior of each flanking cabinet space lined with mahogany veneers. Importantly, despite the incredibly spacious proportions, the entire cabinet can be disassembled for safe transport. The top is removed with bolts on the inside corners...
