Description
Founders walnut cabinets, the first name in Mid Century Modern furniture.
Theses Founders walnut cabinets by Jack Cartwright, a hidden gem in the world of Mid-Century Modern design, crafted some of the prettiest furniture ever! The Founders style hearkens back to Jens Risom and some of the other greats.
These chests/cabinets in walnut are all dovetailed. C’mon, you know what dove tailing is right? Ok. Quick lesson. Clasp your fingers together at the knuckle. Go ahead. Intertwine them tightly. That dear reader is the essence of a “dove tail.” This technique helps the wood stay joined together. In some Danish furniture making circles, NO glue is used. And to this I humbly bow.
Please, note how the unique handles add a little something extra to the beautiful craftsmanship of these pieces. Purchase per piece at $1595
