Description
Please believe me when I say pictures don’t this piece justice. The cherry wood shimmers and gleams with an almost indescribable Iridescence that looks like rivers of honey that form the ebbing and flowing grain. The tones and hues of the piece change depending on how the light hits it and where your eye catches it. You’ll see amber, ochre, honey, and umber.
We purchased this cabinet from the son of the original owners who had it custom made in the 1970’s. Although it looks similar to the works to Jens Risom, Arne Vodder, and Brown-Saltman, this is a custom, made 1 of 1 credenza. There are many unique aspects to this piece that seem inspired by many designers of the period.
A large cherry door on the left conceals open cabinet space with removable / adjustable shelves. The right has a faux-door panel that is made to resemble the one on the left. However, this faux-door is actually the front panel to a roll-out bar cart. This handsome server sports two drop-leaves that double its counter space. This mini buffet is perfectly suited for beverage or snack service. The cart is perfectly concealed and we tip our hats to the clever craftsman who concocted this practical deception. The middle section is a lighted wine bottle display with plenty of space for your collection.
This piece was designed for serious storage. The exceptional length is the perfect dimension for your flat screen TV if you choose to use this as a media cabinet. A true masterpiece mix of solid cherry and cherry veneer over plywood core. The construction, materials, fit and finish exhibit a quality seldom seen, even from respected makers. Fully restored, with only very minor imperfections.
