About the Item
This very rare cabinet was produced in France in the early 1920s. The design is attributed to Paul Poiret for his own workshop, Atelier Martine. This piece presents a fascinating blend of influences, as it is infused with both Poiret’s admiration for the Wiener Werkstätte and his enduring fascination with Asian design traditions. These influences merge into a modernist piece that feels both refined and understated.
The form is spare and architectural: a rectilinear cabinet with subtly rounded edges, elevated on short, inward-cut legs that echo a restrained, almost vernacular chinoiserie silhouette. The cabinet is finished in a deep black, slightly glossy lacquer that has developed a beautiful patina over time. The clean, planar doors are accented by two tubular nickel-plated brass handles, set in an asymmetrical arrangement.
The piece is in completely original condition, with patinated lacquer and signs of wear consistent with age and use, including light scratches, small areas of color loss, minor dents, and a few tiny chips. Overall, the cabinet presents beautifully, its surface retaining an authentic patina that enhances its character.

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...
