Teak Storage Cupboard circa 1955 by Pierre Jeanneret, sometimes referred to as model PJ-050306
This rare storage cupboard, or “sideboard”, is probably made in a rosewood (sissoo), based on the colour and the weight of the cupboard.
Quadrangular unit with five drawers of graduated size to the right and two leaves attached by iron hinges to the left, surmounted by a drawer. The round, hollowed-out opening grips on an aluminium background are typical of Pierre Jeanneret’s work in Chandigarh, and are also found on the pigeon hole desk. Four short “log”-type legs, connected by a brace, are fixed to the underside of the unit.
This is an exceptionally rare piece. In the catalogue raisonné du mobilier Jeanneret Chandigarh, you will only find a design sketch of this model; there are no photographs, as per our research.
Provenance: Panjab University Library, Chandigarh, India.
Fair condition corresponding with age and use.
Currently in a lightly preserved condition, but can be further restored on demand.
Overall dimensions:
Height: ± 87 cm
Width: ± 122 cm
Depth: ± 46 cm
Depending on your location, there may be additional transportation costs.
