1940s chest of drawers / archive cabinet by Danish cabinet maker. Oak and brass
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...

Shopping for a commode or a chest of drawers?
Commode is the French term for a low chest of drawers, but it is also sometimes used to denote any case piece with a particularly intricate design. The commode dates to circa 1700 France, where it was used as an alternative to a taller cabinet piece so as to not obscure paneled, mirrored or tapestried walls. Coffers, or chests, which were large wooden boxes with hinged lids and sometimes stood on ball feet, preceded chests of drawers, a fashionable cabinet furnishing that garnered acclaim for its obvious storage potential and versatility. The term commode was also used to refer to a piece of bedroom furniture — a washstand or nightstand that contained a chamber pot.
As time passed, French and British furniture makers led the way in the production of chests of drawers, and features like the integration of bronze and ornamental pulls became commonplace. Antique French commodes in the Louis XV style were sometimes crafted in mahogany or walnut, while an Italian marble top added a sophisticated decorative flourish. This specific type of case piece grew in popularity in the years that followed.
So, what makes a chest of drawers different from a common dresser? Dressers are short, and chests of drawers are overall taller pieces of furniture that typically do not have room on the top for a mirror as most dressers do. Tallboys and highboys are variations of the dresser form. Some chests of drawers have one column of four to six long drawers or three long drawers in their bottom section that are topped by a cluster of small side-by-side drawers on the top. To further complicate things, we sometimes refer to particularly short chests of drawers as nightstands.
Even though chests of drawers are commonly thought of as bedroom furniture to store clothing, these are adaptable pieces. A chest of drawers can house important documents — think of your walnut Art Deco commode as an upgrade to your filing cabinet. Nestle your chest near your home’s front door to store coats and other outerwear, while the top can be a place to drop your handbag. Add some flair to your kitchen, where this lovable case piece can hold pots, pans and even cookbooks.
When shopping for the right chest of drawers for your home, there are a few key things to consider: What will you be storing in it? How big a chest will you need?
Speaking of size, don’t dream too big. If your space is on the smaller side, a more streamlined vintage mid-century modern chest of drawers, perhaps one designed by Paul McCobb or T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings, may best suit your needs.
