Eliel Saarinen, et. alia
Flexible Home Arrangements Four Drawer Cabinet #A5 1939
Johnson Furniture / Johnson-Handley-Johnson 1939
Rectangular cases with birch veneers, four drawers with solid birch and polished aluminum metal pulls, manufacturer's brand inside top drawers.
18w x 20 deep x 30h
Very good original condition, with a rich and mellow finish typical of 6o year old birch veneers. Bearing Serial #170, this case shows two repairs, the more evident on the right rear upper "micro-cantilever" lip detail and showing in the photographs. Drawer pull lacquer refreshed, metal polished. Used as a modular pair, these repairs are entirely hidden from view.
SOLD
MM005
These cabinets were probably produced between the end of the war and the very early 1950's. Johnson Furniture was a "premium manufacturer" in Grand Rapids, MI. These items show exceptional casemaking with beautiful dovetail construction, sophisticated design, attractive veneers, dust partitions bewtween every drawer, and a rich finish that appears to have also been extremely durable.
Two available.
These cabinets are priced separately and can be purchased singly. However, their original Saarinen design is intended as modular. As a result, we offer the pair at SOLD.
