Pair of bedside cupboards / pot cupboards.

Oak wood with dark coromandel handles, ceramic interiors and slate tops.

Pander & Zn., 1920s (company labels inside doors). 45 x 32 x 55cm high.

A rare pair of bedside cabinets (or nightstands) by the Dutch architect and furniture designer Henk Wouda (1885-1946).
The cabinets are designed in typical Haagse School style; a fine balance of applied form and weight – In this the Dutch designers were especially influenced by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright.

The cabinets currently contain their original period fittings, namely ceramic pot holders. However, should the buyer wish it would be easy for us to have them removed prior to sending in order to make them suitable for more contemporary storage purposes.
