About the Item
Petite Cabinet in Carved Oak, France, 1940s
Where rural geometry meets quiet sculpture
This French cabinet from the 1940s distills the essence of provincial craft into a modest, architectural form. Defined by a single carved rondel—concentric and tactile—it evokes both the celestial symbolism of earlier ecclesiastical furniture and the material restraint of mid-century rural modernism.
Executed in solid oak and finished in a stripped, natural tone, the piece features a paneled door with a bold circular motif set within a beveled frame. Above it, a shallow drawer is flanked by two pyramidal carvings—refined yet assertive, echoing the language of post-war French joinery rooted in handwork and balance.
Though unsigned, the cabinet reflects the sculptural vocabulary seen in the workshops of southwestern France during the interwar and immediate post-war period—where artisanal traditions were reinterpreted through a lens of pared-down geometry and everyday utility.
The piece is structurally sound and lightly restored, with visible wood grain, softened edges, and a dry matte patina preserved in keeping with its origins. Brass fittings are original; interior clean and functional.
Its scale lends itself to versatile placement—as a bedside table, an accent in a reading room, or a sculptural punctuation in a gallery-like space. Pairs beautifully with Brutalist, wabi-sabi, or mineral-rich interiors.
Available for private acquisition. Inquiries for placement or condition notes are welcome.

1940s chest of drawers / archive cabinet by Danish cabinet maker. Oak and brass
By Arne Vodder, Hans J. Wegner, Børge Mogensen
Located in København K, 84
Mid-20th century Danish craftsmanship, one cannot overlook the exquisite elegance and sacral allure embodied within the masterful work of a 1940s Danish cabinetmaker. This archival chest, crafted with meticulous attention to detail, stands as a testament to the virtuosity and ingenuity of its creator.
Fashioned from solid, patinated oak, the cabinet exudes a sense of timeless sophistication, its rich grain and warm hues inviting contemplation. Yet, it is not merely its materiality that captivates, but rather the sacred geometry inherent in its design. The cabinet assumes a form reminiscent of a revered reliquary, its silhouette evoking the solemnity of sacred spaces.
At first glance, the cabinet presents itself with an air of modesty, its true grandeur hidden behind two brass piano-hinged front doors. These doors, adorned with a subtle sheen, offer a glimpse into the treasures concealed within. As they swing open with a gentle grace, they reveal a symphony of craftsmanship—a symphony composed of twelve meticulously crafted drawers...
