Description
Vintage teak wall unit with bookcase top & drawer storage. Made by RY Mobler.
This system is extremely well built and brilliantly versatile. The impressive teak unit is composed of a chest of six drawers and a bookcase top.
The two sections marry perfectly although they could be split to be used separately. The top is fixed to the base cabinet with plates on the rear.
The shelves in the top part of the cabinet are all adjustable and made using solid block wood to prevent them from sagging under the weight of the objects you store.
Subtle details such as visible dowel joints, contrasting teak and oak interior, and an elegant brass door catch/handle are signatures of Hans Wegner design.
The brass handles Wegner used for this series are pulled sideways to unlatch the lock mechanism and open the doors.
Condition: Superb with even oiled finish and wonderful warm patina.
