Description

An original Paul Frankl sideboard, circa 1940 with solid mahogany construction. The front centre doors are covered in cork and open to reveal fitted drawers. These doors are flanked by sets of four drawers on either side. The piece is in excellent original condition with only minor evidences of wear or use. The knobs are nicely detailed with a hammered finish.
Born in Vienna, Paul Frankl came to the United States in 1914 as part of a wave of Central European design luminaries — among them Kem Weber, Rudolph Schindler, and Richard Neutra — who were drawn by the energy and optimism of the American scene. Prolific and protean, Frankl would go on to design
