Hans J. Wegner 'President' Teak Credenza for RY Møbler - SOLD

February 18, 2017

(RESERVED)

This is one of the finest pieces of furniture we've ever owned. Designed by the renowned Danish designer Hans J. Wenger for RY Møbler in the 1950s, this substantial piece is at once breathtaking and subtle. Every detail was carefully considered and crafted with utmost skill. This is the RY No. 25 sideboard, referred to as the 'President'.

The design is deceptively simple and clean; the only embellishments are the shiny chrome backing plates for the solid teak pulls. But as you explore the piece, the details come into focus: notice how the horizontal grain on the sides of the case wrap around to the front. The elegant tambour doors slide away into hidden compartments to reveal a contrasting European oak interior with adjustable drawers and shelves. The tapered legs are just the right height and thickness. It is SUCH a handsome piece!

This piece is in very good vintage condition with a beautiful patina. To note: on the right edge there are a few small dings. The back edges of the case sides have small veneer chips. The bottom right corner has a small ding. The top has light scratches and a very small chip on the back edge. Please see the detail photos provided.
