Wall shelf by Poul Cadovius for Royal Systems, 1950s

This 1950s wall unit was designed by Poul Cadovius and is manufactured by Royal Systems. This company founded by Cadovius were most renowned for the range of wall unit designs they produced. This particular design is veneered in rosewood but all the appliances are solid rosewood and beautifully cut. The appliances fit into the stands and the shelves in turn fit the appliances. Everything is held in place by wooden pins and is easily fitted and removed but very solid. This wall unit has 4 stands and 17 shelves of which 2 are deeper (30cm). The middle unit has shorter shelves as these were cut by a previous owner. As they are therefore missing veneer on one side these come at a more attractive price. However it does not stand out, see pictures. And off course you could put these shelves also on the side in the corner, as the previous owner did. Some boards have a slight bend. Due to this patina, the wall unit is considered to be in good vintage condition.
