Description
A beautiful and highly functional example of Danish mid-century design. We believe this elegant 1960s cabinet was crafted by Bornholms Mobelfabrik and designed by Johannes Sorth, however there is no sticker, it look like there was a sticker in the back that came off. Thoughtfully designed to combine style and practicality, the piece features an open bookcase with 3 shelves, 2 are adjustable, a pull-out writing surface, and a cleverly concealed interior with several small compartments and three small drawers hidden behind tambour doors, and three spacious drawers with recessed teak handles, and they glide smoothly.
The measurements are: height=72" width=39.5" depth=16.75" approx.

Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: The cabinet stands on four slender, tapered legs, joined by a connecting stretcher that adds both stability and visual refinement. The Cabinet is in good condition, it is secure and sturdy, there are some aging imperfections/scratches/touch ups here and there due to its age and as part of its wear and tear, see pictures.
