Display cabinet
This wall-mounted display cabinet was produced in Sweden during the 1940s by Hyma, a manufacturer known for high-quality metalwork and precision craftsmanship. The cabinet is constructed from nickel-plated metal combined with glass panels, creating a clean and functional display structure. The metal frame features a polished, slightly warm silver tone that contrasts subtly with the internal wooden details visible along the edges, adding both warmth and refinement to the overall composition.
The cabinet is equipped with an integrated light fixture positioned along the upper interior, designed to evenly illuminate displayed objects. The internal glass shelf divides the space symmetrically and is height-adjustable via a discreet notched rail system along the sides. The hinged front glass door includes a small key-operated lock at the lower edge, indicative of professional display use.
This model exemplifies the precision and aesthetic balance characteristic of mid-century Swedish craftsmanship, combining industrial-grade construction with minimalist modernist aesthetics. Its form and materials reflect the functionalist tendencies of Scandinavian design from the period, where utility, clarity, and material honesty were central principles.
The piece is in excellent vintage condition with minor signs of use consistent with age, including light surface wear to the metal and minimal patina around the hinges and frame. The electrical light is functional.
