🔎 Provenance Story

We discovered this exceptional Johannes Andersen highboard in a beautifully preserved country estate nestled in the heart of Sussex. The home, built in the early 1960s, was a haven of refined modernism — its owners having carefully curated their interiors with iconic Scandinavian furniture, including this standout piece.

Positioned for decades in a sun-drenched dining room that overlooked manicured gardens, the cabinet was treasured. Its finish remains warm and lustrous, a testament not only to the enduring quality of Wilhelm Schauman Oy’s Finnish craftsmanship but also to the care it received.

What truly drew us in was its multifunctionality — from the green-felt-lined drawers and writing compartment to the tambour doors and sculpted handles, every element speaks to mid-century innovation. It was love at first sight: its scale, its elegant balance of form and function, and the richness of the teak grain make it a statement piece with soul.

Now cleaned and lightly revived in our workshop, it stands ready to elevate a new space — a rare chance to own a highboard that is both design history and deeply personal.
