Svend Langkilde bar cabinet
This rare wall-mounted bar cabinet, designed by Svend Langkilde and produced by Langkilde Møbler in Denmark during the 1950s, exemplifies the refined elegance and functional sophistication of Danish mid-century modern design. Crafted from richly grained rosewood, the cabinet features solid brass fittings that complement its warm tones and add a layer of understated luxury.
The exterior is adorned with beautifully book-matched rosewood veneer, creating a visually striking surface. The doors open outward on substantial brass hinges and incorporate recessed sculptural handles, enhancing the minimalist aesthetic with precise craftsmanship. A small brass keyhole and lock provide security and contribute to the cabinet’s refined detailing.
Inside, the cabinet is fully lined with rosewood and designed with thoughtful functionality. It includes a single drawer with an integrated pull for bar tools or accessories and a drop-down serving surface that offers a stable platform for cocktail preparation. The interior door compartments feature wooden brackets designed to securely hold bottles, maximizing storage efficiency while maintaining ease of use.
Intended to be wall-mounted, the cabinet creates a striking floating effect that allows it to blend seamlessly into various interiors without occupying floor space. The harmonious combination of warm rosewood and the natural patina on the brass fittings gives the piece a timeless quality, making it a highly desirable item for collectors and enthusiasts of Scandinavian design.
