About the Item

Aesthetic Movement cabinet by cabinetmaker H. Poulsen, executed in solid oak with intricate intarsia, brass fittings, and glass panels, Denmark, 1904. This remarkable piece reflects the late Aesthetic and Arts Crafts sensibilities that shaped Scandinavian furniture design at the turn of the 20th century — a period when craftsmanship, material integrity, and artistic detailing were paramount. The cabinet’s geometric inlay, brass ornamentation, and precisely framed glass panels combine to create a balanced and harmonious composition that embodies the movement’s principle: “art for art’s sake.” The construction demonstrates the high standards of Danish cabinetmaking of the era — solid joinery, subtle ornamentation, and a strong sense of proportion. The original receipt from 1904 accompanies the piece, offering a rare and fascinating insight into its provenance and early ownership.
