Restored Walnut & Burl Helen Hobey Baker Cabinet + Pair Mirrors Danish Style

Creator: Helen Hobey
Offered by: Vintage Looks

Description
This rare and super sculptural cabinet or dresser was designed in the 1970s by Helen Hobey for Baker. It features a walnut and burlwood construction that is warm and pleasant to the eye. Sides that slope inward to meet the top, and an articulated base with handosme stretchers create a distinct and stylish look. Bronze-tone door handles for the center create contrast to the burlwood set behind them. Four doors open to reveal 9 large drawers that work smoothly. Minor silvering loss to original mirrors. The mirrors feature anodized aluminum trim and a slight high-quality bevel to the edge of the glass.

This example has been professionally restored. This includes stripping of old finish by hand. Sanding of all surfaces to create an even, open, and receptive grain that does not include swirl marks found when using mechanical sanders. Staining as needed. Burnished satin laquer finish using carnauba wax, by hand. All screws for hinges uniformly replaced. All magnetic catches functioning. All drawers cheched for for smooth operation with cleaned interiors. A quality piece enhanced by a superior hand-performed restoration. You will love this piece.
