A very nice credenza with two sliding doors to cover a larger shelve, four drawers that run very smooth and a smaller storage space with one shelf on the right. Note that the doors and drawers are positioned 1 cm inwards compared to the frame creating some depth and shadows. Some nice details can be found back if you look at the carved legs for example that have a distinctive shape but also the knobs that have been made out of Brazilian hardwood and the metal rings behind the knobs that give them a nice contrastive appearance both in material as in colour. The subtle use of metal is a nice detail in general, also when you look at the panels that have metal at the outsides, serving as a frame function more or less. The sideboard is in a very good condition and is complete with all its shelves etc. The top is almost as new. Also a lower one available! Note that the label in the pictures is not attached to this sideboard but to the lower one. This picture serves merely as a proof of authenticity because they form a set and the lower one is 100% similar (but lower), but does have the label. 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
