  • Catalogue Essay

    The present lot was produced by Nordiska Kompaniet, the prestigious Swedish furniture purveyor which was headed by Axel Einar Hjorth. The form is typical of the designer’s case furniture, and his dual influences of Swedish neoclassicism and international modernism are clearly represented. The present lot was produced in limited numbers and for a short time period from 1929 through the early 1930s.
