the piece is part of the ''formule'' (formula) line (see photo.)
it has 4 drawers with a very good storage capacity; all four are clean, functional and have magnificent handles, typical of the period in which they were made.

~ dimensions of the first 3, smaller drawers:
h: 10 cm x w: 56 cm x depth: 39 cm.
~ dimensions of the larger drawer at the bottom:
height: 16 cm x width: 56 cm x depth 39 cm.

the piece is in very good, overall, general vintage, original condition, with some traces and signs of use on the top surface (see photo next to the 1 centime coin for perspective), the side panels, a very small lack of veneer on the side, rear left of the top, with a superb patina of time.

it has been gently cleaned to preserve it's original appearance and the rich, golden-blonde/brown tones, as much as possible. There are 2 brass screws on each side of the panels, because the piece could be attached to other modules.

this fantastic piece isn't just scandinavian in style or form. It was made in finland (see photo of stamp), which really couldn't be more scandinavian.

the maker's label is also present at the rear, upper, left hand side at the back (see photo.)

a beautiful, practical piece that does not take up too much room and will work perfectly in a bedroom, hallway, living room or other.
