Arden Riddle Studio Craft Unique Storage Cabinet Solid Cherry 1966
-
Description
A unique and finely crafted storage cabinet by American designer/ craftsman Arden Riddle, dated 1966 and branded by the maker.
Constructed in rich, warm cherrywood, this exceptional piece showcases Riddle’s signature blend of functionality and refined modernist aesthetics.
Designed with a clean, architectural presence, the cabinet features innovative drop-leaf sides that expand the surface area, offering versatile use as a bar, serving station, or console.
Riddle, a lesser-known yet highly respected figure in postwar American design, produced much of his furniture in limited runs or as one-off commissions, making his work increasingly rare and collectible. Active primarily during the 1960s and ’70s, Riddle was known for precise craftsmanship, elegant proportions, and thoughtful utility—traits all present in this singular example.
The cabinet’s interior offers generous storage, ideal for dining or living spaces, while the 12" drop-leaf extensions provide practical adaptability without compromising its sculptural silhouette. The maker’s brand and date stamp (1966) underscore its authenticity and rarity.
For collectors of mid-century American design or decorators seeking a piece with both presence and provenance, this Arden Riddle cabinet stands out as a functional heirloom from a distinct voice in 20th-century furniture history.
The cabinet was designed specifically for a good friend of Arden's and is a one-off.
The serving sideboard is in excellent vintage condition as shown in the photographs.
