A striking Danish Model HU-9 secretary bookcase, designed by Poul Hundevad and manufactured by Hundevad & Co. during the 1960s.
Crafted in richly figured rosewood veneer, the cabinet displays a particularly expressive and carefully matched grain pattern across the sliding doors. The upper section offers generous open shelving for books, art and decorative objects.
A lockable drop-front opens to form a practical writing surface and reveals a fitted interior with multiple document compartments, including characteristic thin horizontal letter trays on the left and open shelving on the right. The lower cabinet provides additional concealed storage behind two sliding doors with integrated recessed wooden handles.
Standing on elegant tapered legs, this large and highly functional cabinet combines storage, display and workspace in one refined example of Danish modern design.
Condition
Good vintage condition with visible signs of age and use. Some marks and discoloration are present on the interior writing surface, including a distinct darker liquid ring mark. The drop-front, lock and sliding doors function smoothly as intended.
The reverse bears the original stamps, including the official Danish Furnituremakers’ Quality Control mark.
