Just lovely.
Unusual side-to-side and end-to-end bookmatch to the veneer. I assume that the double-Y leg stretcher is aluminum (?) with rosewood veneer applied ?
Is it yours now ? Can we see the interior layout ? Is the back finished (veneered) ? The finish is so "high" that it appears to have been refinished.
Thanks folks
I think Rudolf Bernd Glatzel takes the prize and particular thanks to Killian the Irish contributor for the referrence and 'photo.
It is the original finish and has not been "dealered", an adverb I picked up recentley when discussing an early British sideboad with the omniscient Simon Andrews, modern design icon in his own right at Christies, South Kensington, London.The back is not veneered but secured by an army of small brass screws.
I am buying it but it is a bit too high/tall for my taste. I am a John and Sylvia Reid man.
I prefer Killan's example in teak with metal legs.Mine(not quite)is almost too opulent aesthetically but the quality of construction is akin to cabinet making. I will post a 'photo of the doors hinges next week. They are truely second to none.
Thanks,
notretro. I await further views. It certainly seems that the second photo above shows a piece which was either a copy of, or was the inspiration for, your piece. Note the difference in leg diameter, height of stretcher, and (of course) the presence of rivets or other fasteners to the stretcher.
I'm curious to know in what ways "cabinetmaking quality" might NOT appropriately apply to this. . .cabinet.
