About the Item

This Lyby Mobler Danish-Modern modular teak cabinet / bookshelf is a superb example of Scandinavian design that combines form, craftsmanship, and flexibility in one elegant unit. Measuring approximately 66½ inches (169 cm) wide × 15½ inches (39 cm) deep × 53⅞ inches (137 cm) high, its proportions strike a balance between visual lightness and generous storage. Constructed in warm teak with beautifully figured grain, the modular stack consists of lower closed cabinets and upper open shelves, ideal for books, decorative objects, or media components. The doors—solid teak—offer clean lines, while behind them sit spacious interiors with adjustable shelving. Every exposed surface, including the back, has been finished, allowing the unit to be placed as a freestanding piece in a room rather than constrained to a wall. Restoration has been carefully executed: the teak has been cleaned, refinished, and the joinery reinforced where needed. Minor age-appropriate wear remains—small scuffs or faint discoloration in places—but nothing that diminishes the refined finish or structural integrity. Doors align well, drawers (if any) open smoothly, and shelves are stable. Visually, this cabinet functions as both utility and sculpture. Its modular design allows for curated display of books, art, or greenery, while the closed storage keeps clutter hidden. In modern, Scandinavian, mid-century, or eclectic interiors this piece harmonizes beautifully with warm woods, muted textiles, metal accents, and natural light highlighting the grain. For collectors and interior designers who value authentic Scandinavian mid-century furniture, rare maker names like Lyby Mobler, and pieces that deliver both beauty and utility, this cabinet stands out. It offers both usable storage and aesthetic presence—more than furniture, it is a statement of heritage and style.

Lighted Danish Rosewood Glass Door Hutch Cabinet Bookcase with Carved Pulls
By Bernhard Pedersen & Son, Erik Brouer, Arne Vodder, Poul Hundevad
Located in Chattanooga, TN
Envision an heirloom of Scandinavian grace—a luminous display cabinet that seamlessly transforms function into art. Crafted in Denmark in the 1970s by Bernhard Pedersen & Son, this distinguished piece embodies the distilled essence of Danish Modern design: elegant proportions, richly grained rosewood, and seamless craftsmanship. Set into the facade are glass-fronted doors, their smooth surfaces accented by sculptural, solid rosewood carved pulls—each curve carefully echoed in the subtly contoured banding that frames the cabinet. Open the doors to discover a spacious, mirrored interior, thoughtfully illuminated from within and outfitted with adjustable or removable glass shelves—ideal for curated display of china, glassware, or cherished volumes. The cabinet stands on graciously tapered, turned wood legs—restored and deliberately toned to a slightly darker hue, adding depth and visual contrast to the rosewood body. Threaded metal insert nuts ensure that the legs attach securely and elegantly, merging integrity with finesse. This is design rooted in the highest aspirations. The construction features tight joinery and choice materials, evident even in the gentle patina that only decades of stewardship can bestow. The cabinet measures a stately 64.5 inches in width, 16 inches in depth, and 49 inches in height—proportions that make it a commanding presence in living rooms, libraries, or refined dining spaces. Comparable lighting-topped rosewood cabinets in exceptional condition currently exchange in the realm of $3,300, confirming the enduring demand for this rare blend of craftsmanship and elegant functionality . Meanwhile, references across peer platforms affirm the unique stature of pieces by this Danish maker, particularly when illuminated internally and retaining original rosewood tone and build integrity  More than a piece of furniture, this cabinet is a statement—a timeless emblem of Scandinavian modernity that radiates sophistication by day and glows with understated elegance each evening. For collectors and connoisseurs of mid-century design, it offers a rare opportunity to own something that is both functional and timelessly refinished—a silent ambassador of refined taste and enduring design excellence. Illuminated from the interior, this Scandinavian display cabinet...
