Description
This double sideboard was manufactured in Scandinavia during the 1960s. The chest is made from walnut wood and veneer with irregular, strong grain from very rare perennial defects on the tree. A burl (or burr) is a tree growth in which the grain has grown in a deformed manner. It is commonly found in the form of a rounded outgrowth on a tree trunk or branch that is filled with small knots from dormant buds. Burls yield a very peculiar and highly figured wood, prized for its beauty and rarity. It is sought after by furniture makers, artists, and wood sculptors. Moreover, the sideboard has a two pairs of sliding doors with a hand-painted, geometric pattern in back and white. Minted vintage condition.
