Otto Schulz attrib. cabinet

This bar cabinet is attributed to Otto Schulz and was produced by Boet in Sweden during the 1940s. The cabinet is crafted from dark-stained beech with doors covered in deep blue imitation leather, decorated with geometric diamond patterns created from rows of brass rivets. The combination of dark wood and textured blue surface, along with the metallic detailing, gives the piece a refined yet distinctly modern character typical of Swedish decorative arts of the mid-century period.

The cabinet stands on slightly tapered legs that elevate the form and emphasize its balanced proportions. The interior is constructed in light birch veneer, providing a bright contrast to the darker exterior. Inside, the cabinet is fitted with mirrored surfaces, glass shelving, and built-in lighting, all designed to reflect and enhance the display of glassware and bottles. The right door includes integrated glass storage racks, while the left side holds wooden drawers and shelves for bar accessories, exemplifying Boet’s focus on craftsmanship and functional detailing.

Otto Schulz, a German-born designer active in Gothenburg, was known for his sophisticated furniture and interiors that merged modernism with decorative richness. His work for Boet combined modern materials and forms with ornamental techniques such as studded leather and contrasting veneers. This bar cabinet illustrates his characteristic blend of utility, texture, and geometric precision, aligning with the ideals of Swedish Grace evolving into mid-century Scandinavian design.

The cabinet is in good vintage condition with visible signs of age and use, along with a patina consistent with its period. Dimensions are 100 cm wide, 38 cm deep, and 116.5 cm high (39.4 x 15 x 45.9 in).
