We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment.

This Swedish Grace cabinet dates from 1930 and follows a design by Otto Schulz for Boet. Constructed from birch and flame birch veneer with a honey gold colouration, the piece has a large bowfront shape measuring 183 cm high, 205 cm wide, and 72.5 cm deep. The exterior presents three panelled doors, a shaped cornice with carved detailing, a base with beaded detail, and an applied scalloped apron standing on six shaped legs. Four large circular beaded handles incorporate keyholes, complementing the wood grain across the curved facade. Inside, a central door opens to reveal a fitted interior containing a shelf and four large drawers with diamond pattern arranged veneers, while each side door holds five adjustable shaped shelves. The back carries a Boet stamp, and the cabinet has undergone a recent restoration.

FAQs

Swedish Grace was a transitional movement between Neoclassicism and Modernism during the 1920s and 1930s. It is recognised by simple forms, subtle curves, elegant proportions, and the use of light-coloured native timbers like flame birch.

Craftsmen predominantly used solid birch framework paired with book-matched flame or curly birch veneers, complemented by turned wood or brass escutcheons and custom metal hardware.

Authentic pieces by Otto Schulz for Boet frequently feature distinct architectural shaping, signature beaded escutcheons, scalloped lower aprons, and original maker labels or stamped markings.

Position the piece as an anchor in a living or dining space, pairing its warm wood tone against neutral walls and balancing its classical curves with contemporary lighting or understated modern seating.

Clean the surface gently using a dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth, avoid placing the piece near direct heat sources or damp areas, and apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually to protect the original finish.
