Double Cabinet by Marcel Breuer

Double low art deco carolean birch cabinet.

Inside there are 2 cupboard sections, the right hand section with a central shelf.

Fitted with green bakelite handles.

30 inches (76cm) wide, 14.5 inches (37cm) deep, 27 inches (68.5cm) high.

Condition is good as it has been renovated recently.

I also have a matching single of this same cabinet (FN1532) available separately. This double cabinet has a curved left hand end and so the 2 fit together nicely as a pair.

For Info:

This double low carolean birch cabinet came from Sea Lane House.

Sea Lane house is an Art Deco house which was designed and built in 1936 by Marcel Breuer. The furniture inside was also designed by Breuer.

The house is now grade 2 listed and was the only house built in the UK by Breuer.

This cabinet is one of several I purchased from the set of 6 which were in the lounge area.

The house was constructed with brick and concrete and built in 1936, these items for sale here are believed to have been designed and made specifically for the building.

Marcel Breuer briefly studied art in Vienna before joining the Bauhaus in the 1920s. First a student and then a teacher, he became head of the celebrated furniture workshop. On leaving the Bauhaus, Breuer practised as an architect in Berlin before fleeing the Nazi regime and moving to London in 1935, where he stayed for two years. In 1939, he was invited by Walter Gropius (the founder of the Bauhaus and former teacher of Breuer) to work at Harvard University.

I have another 4 pieces that are currently undergoing renovation.

Pictures will follow once done.
