Skillfully crafted in beautiful danish elm wood with interior in pine. The cabinet was part of a modular series and can be divided into a lower and an upper part. 4 + 2 removable shelves that can be arranged in different ways and also be used as trays. Great original condition. Stamped by maker. These early fdb designs are very rarely seen and the quality of this piece is stunning. In 1942, the young børge mogensen was appointed head of fdbs newly created furniture department. For the next few decades, they were among the frontrunners in the golden age of danish design with names such as hans j. Wegner, arne vodder and of course mogensen himself. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
