About the Item

A charming and highly unusual Danish side table dating to the 1930s, by a Danish cabinetmaker and distinguished by its wonderfully individual hand-decorated surface. Executed in wood with a warm honey-brown finish, the table has a compact architectural form with a raised upper compartment, single drawer, and elevated four-legged base. The drawer front is embellished with expressive incised and raised decoration depicting a fanciful bird, botanical forms, and other whimsical naturalistic motifs. The freehand quality of the decoration gives the piece an especially appealing folk-art character, while the restrained geometric construction reflects the Danish cabinetmaking tradition of the period. The surface has acquired a beautifully aged patina, with visible craquelure, minor losses, abrasions, and other signs of age that contribute to its authentic character. The combination of sophisticated Danish woodworking and naïve decorative imagery makes this a particularly distinctive accent piece for an eclectic, Scandinavian, or modern interior.

Swedish Art Deco Side Table / Bar Table

Located in Karlstad, SE

Swedish Art Deco Side Table / Bar Table, Sweden, 1930s Exceptional Swedish Art Deco side or bar table from the 1930s, displaying impressive craftsmanship and an unusually elaborate combination of exotic woods, decorative inlays and ingenious storage. The tabletop is particularly striking, combining richly figured elm-root and mahogany veneers with period-typical inlaid motifs depicting liquor and cigarettes. Protected beneath a glass top, these playful details reveal the table's original function as a piece intended for entertaining and give it a wonderfully distinctive character. The sides of the table are equally carefully considered, incorporating several small shelves and locking compartments for storing bottles, glasses and other bar accessories. Mahogany and contrasting zebrano veneers emphasize the geometric construction and bring additional richness to the compact architectural form. Despite its relatively restrained proportions, the table reveals new details from every angle. The combination of luxurious veneers, practical concealed storage and witty pictorial decoration is characteristic of the sophisticated approach to Swedish furniture making during the interwar period. The piece can be used as originally intended as a compact bar table, while its proportions also make it highly suitable as a side or occasional table. Even when closed, the richly figured veneers and decorative tabletop give it a strong sculptural presence. A charming and unusual example of Swedish Art Deco furniture...
