A masterful example of mid-century Danish craftsmanship and sculptural design. Executed in richly grained rosewood, the cabinet exudes warmth and refinement, with a surface that displays extraordinary depth and figure throughout.

The piece features sliding doors with organically shaped recessed handles, revealing a well-appointed interior with ample storage. Below, a row of drawers offers additional functionality, their carved integrated pulls seamlessly blending into the design. The cabinet rests on an elegant cross-legged base of bent solid wood, connected by brass stretchers, which lend a subtle architectural balance and visual lightness.

Beautifully proportioned and executed with meticulous attention to detail, this highboard captures the essence of Danish modern design, refined simplicity, natural materiality, and functional elegance.

The top is restored and finished with a durable protective lacquer to preserve the wood’s natural luster, the piece remains in excellent condition, making it a rare and distinguished statement for any interior. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
