Art Deco oak Bedside Cabinets by Henk Wouda for Pander & Zn., 1920s

A rare pair of bedside cabinets or nightstands by the Dutch architect and furniture designer Henk Wouda (1885-1946). The cabinets are designed in typical Haagse School style; a fine balance of applied form and weight - In this the Dutch designers were especially influenced by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. They are constructed from solid oak combined with contrasting darkened handles and black marble tops. The cabinets currently contain their original period fittings, namely ceramic pot holders. However, should the buyer wish it would be easy for us to have them removed prior to sending in order to make them suitable for more contemporary storage purposes. Very good original condition. One cabinet has a couple of minor chips to the marble edges and some light discolouring to the top.
