Brazilian Modern Rosewood Credenza with Bow Design by Novo Rumo, 1960s - Lot 197

Produced in the 1960s by Novo Rumo, this Brazilian Modern credenza is distinguished by its sculptural bow-shaped detailing and exceptional use of Brazilian rosewood, or jacarandá. The piece features five doors arranged across a wide, horizontal façade: two cabinet sections on each side and a central section incorporating four drawers, offering generous and highly functional storage.
The credenza rests on two horizontal legs connected by a wooden stretcher, lending structural rhythm while maintaining a grounded yet elegant stance. The rosewood exterior displays deep, dramatic grain patterns and rich brown tones, while the interior reveals a lighter finish that creates visual contrast when opened. The entire piece has been meticulously refinished, restoring the wood to excellent condition.
Novo Rumo’s work reflects the Brazilian Modern balance between expressive materiality and disciplined form. This credenza stands as a strong architectural presence, equally suited to residential or gallery settings.
