Skovby Rosewood Buffet and Hutch

If you follow my blog you know how I feel about Rosewood.  Rosewood is the king and these pieces show why.  The striking contrast between the dark and light bands and the beautifully cathedral grain patterns are not found in any other species.  The fact that it hasn't been harvested in 25 years makes it that much more special.  The designs of these pieces are very simple and straight which allows the materials to take center stage and also allows them to fit with many different styles

This beautiful brazilian rosewood credenza and hutch by Skovby was just restored and now looks like new. The upper hutch is removable and has 6 adjustable glass shelves that are in perfect condition. Each of the 3 sections of the hutch has a working light above that shines through the glass shelves and illuminates your keepsakes. The hutch could be mounted on legs and used as a separate display case. The lower credenza or buffet portion has 5 shallow felt lined drawers on the left side for silver and barware. The right 2 doors conceal open storage with one full length adjustable shelf. The inside of the credenza is all finished in mahogany. The inside of the hutch is rosewood. Skovby produced some of the finest Danish furniture and these pieces are a great example of that. The doors are all edged with solid rosewood. The case is hardwood wrapped with incredibly figured brazilian rosewood. Brazilian Rosewood is on the endangered species list and has not been harvested in nearly 25 years. These pieces predate that by 20 years.

Whether or not you are into mid century modern or Scandinavian design, well designed, well constructed pieces using high quality materials are always in demand and retain their value. If you are looking for high quality and unique furniture these are worth looking at.
