About the Item

This exceptional cabinet was designed and handcrafted by Bo Lindahl in Sweden. This unique masterpiece was created as a journeyman's piece at the Central Workshop School in Häggvik, Sollentuna, in 1953. The maker has handwritten a brief backstory on the underside of one of the drawers. It is the only example of this cabinet ever made. The exquisitely crafted design features a square body with double doors and two lower drawers, resting on four tapered legs, connected by side stretchers and a cross stretcher. The entire piece is ornately veneered in a combination of walnut, rosewood, and elm burl. The front doors are adorned with applied raised carvings in an elongated hexagonal pattern, which creates a striking depth and three-dimensionality. The interior of the cabinet is equally impressive, with six drawers and two shelves, all finished and veneered to a very high standard. The drawers retain their original inserts in deep violet velvet. Brass key and hinges add the finishing touch. The cabinet is in very good original condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use. A full condition report is available upon request. Other Swedish Modern designers working in the same period include Carl Malmsten, Axel Larsson, Carl Axel Acking, Otto Schulz and Axel Einar Hjorth.

Jens Ingvard Jensen Trèfle Cabinet in Teak, Leather and Brass, Denmark, 1940s
By J. Ingvard Jensen Odense
Located in The Hague, NL
This exceptionally rare cabinet was designed and produced by the Danish cabinetmaker Jens Ingvard Jensen in the late 1940s. Jensen was one of the few Danish masters who established his workshop outside of Copenhagen, working in Odense, where he designed most of his own models and produced pieces largely on a bespoke basis. Only two examples of this particular model are known. The cabinet features a four-door front with organic quatrefoil cut-outs. Each door panel is clad in fine-grained black leather on the exterior and teak veneer on the interior, allowing the configuration to be reversed: by releasing the interior profiles, the panels can be flipped, creating either an all-teak or leather-front presentation. The leather could also be reinterpreted in another color or material if desired. Brass fittings, keys, hinges, and feet complete the piece with refined detailing. The interior is fitted with shelves and drawers, offering practical storage. The sculptural quatrefoil motifs share a formal affinity with Jean Royère’s Trèfle...
