Jens Ingvard Jensen 'Trèfle' Cabinet in Teak, Leather and Brass, Denmark, 1940s
-
Description
This exceptionally rare cabinet was designed and produced by the Danish cabinetmaker Jens Ingvard Jensen in the late 1940s. Jensen was one of the few Danish masters who established his workshop outside of Copenhagen, working in Odense, where he designed most of his own models and produced pieces largely on a bespoke basis. Only two examples of this particular model are known.
The cabinet features a four-door front with organic quatrefoil cut-outs. Each door panel is clad in fine-grained black leather on the exterior and teak veneer on the interior, allowing the configuration to be reversed: by releasing the interior profiles, the panels can be flipped, creating either an all-teak or leather-front presentation. The leather could also be reinterpreted in another color or material if desired.
Brass fittings, keys, hinges, and feet complete the piece with refined detailing. The interior is fitted with shelves and drawers, offering practical storage. The sculptural quatrefoil motifs share a formal affinity with Jean Royère’s Trèfle vocabulary of the same decade while expressing Jensen’s distinctly Danish cabinetmaking sensibility.
The cabinet is in very good restored condition, with the original wood patina preserved. The black leather panels have been replaced at a later stage. -
