These expertly-crafted two-piece cabinets combine extensive open display shelving, a concealed secretary desk and closed storage. Both upper sections feature open adjustable and removable shelving, with one cabinet incorporating a full-width drop-front panel that opens to form a large writing or work surface. The fitted secretary interior includes additional shelving, open compartments and two small removable drawers. The lower secretary cabinet features a single door with interior shelf alongside four wide drawers, while the coordinating cabinet features two doors opening to divided interior storage with adjustable shelves. Both cabinets are fitted with distinctive original brass pulls, exposed brass hardware and dovetailed joinery detail at the drawers and legs. Raised on separate removable bases, each cabinet unit can be disassembled into three components for easier transport. This versatile pair can be used side-by-side as a matching wall unit or separated for use individually as bookcase, secretary, display and storage cabinets. Both upper and lower sections retain their original Løvig Dansk Designs Denmark stamps on back.

NOTE: List price is for the pair of cabinets. Each cabinet is also available and listed for purchase separately. Please reach out for details.

Some fading and color variation to the wood, including lighter areas beneath the adjustable shelves visible if the shelves are repositioned. One upper hutch has a subtle repair to veneer at upper center. Brass hardware retains an aged patina.
