Item Description
A defining work of Swedish Grace and early functionalism, this “Roma” cabinet by Axel Einar Hjorth for Nordiska Kompaniet is a collector’s grail. Manufactured in 1935, it balances monumental presence with thoughtful restraint—large enough to command a room, yet never overwhelming. The exterior is executed in rich, dark stained oak, emphasizing the bold architectural lines and solid joinery Hjorth is celebrated for. Open the doors to reveal a striking contrast: a fully finished light oak interior, bright and meticulously crafted. Behind the two spacious doors lies an exceptionally practical layout—ideal for bar storage, media, linens, or a curated display. Condition & Authenticity: Excellent vintage condition, professionally preserved with light, age-appropriate patina that only enhances its character. This piece is fully documented: bearing the original Nordiska Kompaniet label, factory number, and 1935 production date. Why this piece matters: Few cabinets from this period offer both sculptural gravitas and genuine everyday utility. The “Roma” model rarely appears on the market—especially in such complete, original, and usable condition.
