Josef Frank cabinet

This very rare cabinet, attributed to Josef Frank and produced by Svenskt Tenn in Sweden during the 1950s, is a distinguished example of Scandinavian mid-century design, blending functionality with elegant craftsmanship.

The piece features a solid mahogany base supported by tapered legs, each finished with brass feet that add both stability and subtle decorative detail. Above, a glass display case framed in solid brass encloses five adjustable glass shelves, offering flexible storage and an ideal setting for exhibiting collectibles or decorative objects. The brass framework has developed a warm, natural patina over time, enhancing its vintage appeal. The mirrored back panel inside the display case amplifies light and depth, enriching the visual experience.

Josef Frank, an Austrian-Swedish architect and designer, was renowned for his humanistic and timeless approach to modernism. His collaboration with Svenskt Tenn resulted in furniture characterized by a harmonious balance of classic elegance and modern practicality. This cabinet exemplifies Frank’s philosophy, featuring refined materials and a design that evokes lightness and sophistication.

The cabinet remains in original condition, with the mahogany base well preserved and only minor wear apparent on the brass fittings and glass components.

Dimensions: 65.5 cm width, 34 cm depth, 168.5 cm height (25.8 x 13.4 x 66.3 inches).
