Pieces of this scale and function are far less commonly encountered than his larger case works, making this an especially desirable form for collectors.

The cabinet is executed in cerused ebonized solid oak, offering a richly textured architectural frame that contrasts beautifully with the bookmatched rosewood drawer fronts—each panel carefully selected to create symmetrical, flowing grain. The spherical pulls, accented with chrome collars, introduce a subtle sculptural element and retain a beautifully aged patina.

The top drawer features its original fitted dividers, underscoring the piece’s intended function as a luxury personal storage object. Compact yet visually impactful, it carries a strong presence whether placed on a vanity, dresser, or within a curated interior.

An exceptional example of Probber’s work—where craftsmanship, materiality, and form converge in a rare small-scale design.
