This copy comes from a very exclusive series that came out in the early 1960s. There are style elements that are strongly reminiscent of the "Brazilia" Series from the American manufacturer Broyhill, this line was first seen at the World Exhibition in 1962. The handle in particular in its characteristic style is an example of mid-century design. The cupboard has 2 sliding doors with a large storage space behind it with a shelf, in the middle of the cupboard there are 3 beautifully finished drawers with a beautiful ribbed exterior. As if it were a frame, the cabinet is mounted on both the left and right in a darker type of wood, which is also beautifully and typically designed for the time. Finally, the cabinet stands on a beautiful base with conical wooden legs. The condition is very neat, this cabinet was recently checked in our restoration workshop and restored where necessary with respect for the authenticity. As a result, there is now a very neat and immediately usable, very exclusive cabinet. Are you the enthusiast looking for a unique showpiece? Looking for the cupboard that almost no one has?
