This exceptional and rare mid-century modern cabinet bears the distinctive design elements attributed to Josef Frank and represents the finest craftsmanship of 1930s Austrian furniture design. Fully restored to a high standard, the piece retains its flawless floral-patterned upholstery ( changed in 50s), and original lock and key.

Crafted from solid cherry wood, the cabinet features elegant rosewood and birch veneer details, adding to its refined aesthetic. The exquisite floral upholstery on the exterior enhances its uniqueness, making it a true statement piece. The outer wooden parts have been meticulously finished with hand-applied shellac, showcasing the beauty and durability of the natural wood.

The key shield and ball straps unmistakably reflect Josef Frank’s iconic design language, further increasing the cabinet’s artistic and historical significance. Despite its solid and heavy construction, the gracefully curved legs and proportions create a sense of lightness and sophistication.
