-SOLD- This Mid-Century Modern walnut china cabinet from Drexel’s Declaration line arrived at our shop in immaculate condition, and began to truly sparkle after we gave it a gentle cleaning and staged it with some groovy 1960’s glassware. Highlights of this piece include sliding glass panels with original porcelain pulls, original tinted glass shelves,richly figured select walnut veneer, and original light fixtures in all cabinets. Tastefully molded trim adorns the casing and doors, attached with elegant v-cut wood joints evocative of Chinese cabinetry.
The slightly receding angle of the upper section of this cabinet creates a relaxed feel which brings a feeling of spacious repose to any room. The generous horizontal and vertical space beneath the lowest shelf  make this piece perfect as a bar, as well as a credenza or display cabinet.  A well placed light in the bottom cabinet ensures efficient use of all the storage space therein.

The finish on this Mid-Century gem is exemplary in that it shows no discoloration from light exposure whatsoever. When you behold it in person, you will see the exact hue and texture that the maker intended.  As we were informed by the 1959 Drexel Declaration pamphlet we discovered in the top drawer, a light application of laquer over tung oil is responsible for the gorgeous amber tone found in all the Declaration Line pieces.

Measurements are 48″W x 20″D x 67″ H. –
