About the Item

Description: A tall, pine cabinet designed by architect Martin Nyrop and made by cabinetmaker Rudolph Rasmussen during the early 20th century.This cabinet, until recently, was part of the interior of the Copenhagen Town Hall. A building designed by architect Martin Nyrop in the Danish Art Nouveau style ("Skønvirke"), also referred to as the National Romantic style. Nyrop designed the totality of the Town Hall: exterior, accessories, & furnishings. Construction on the building began in 1892 and concluded in 1905, therefore this cabinet was designed, built and installed before 1905. This makes the design one of the first major collaborations for cabinetmaker Rudolph Rasmussen.In keeping with the salient aesthetics of the Arts and Craft movement, the construction of the cabinet is simple, yet exceptionally executed, and exposes the construction of the design throughout. The joints connecting the cabinetry to the frame are visible on the sides. These visible joints accompany the simple decoration of a crenelated border, limited to the top and bottom shelves. The cabinet is in excellent vintage condition. All wear is commensurate with age and use. Specifications: Height: 227cm Width: 96cm Depth: 49cm
