Description

Delivery is available. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. For more vintage goodies: @Midcent_LA This stunning 1960s rosewood wall unit is an absolute showstopper—an architectural, sculptural storage system sourced directly from the original owner's estate, who had it custom-imported from Germany. Pieces of this size, material quality, and era are exceptionally hard to find, especially in complete form. The rich rosewood grain runs continuously across the doors, giving the entire façade a sleek, luxurious, uninterrupted look typical of high-end European modernism. Measuring an impressive 118"W x 15"D x 70.25"H (with the bottom section extending to 19.5"D), this unit delivers massive presence without feeling heavy. It features six swing-open compartments, each revealing spacious interior shelving, plus three large lower drawers ideal for storing anything from media equipment to linens. The doors glide smoothly, and the internal storage is generous, practical, and beautifully organized. The wall unit is in original vintage condition, showing appropriate, honest wear consistent with age—including some expected interior patina—while still presenting beautifully. It has been carefully disassembled for easier transport, with the structure and components kept intact. Design-wise, this piece aligns with the work of iconic Mid Century designers such as Dieter Rams (Vitsoe/606), Poul Cadovius (Royal System), Kai Kristiansen, Arne Vodder, Florence Knoll, and Milo Baughman. Its clean lines, horizontal expansiveness, and premium rosewood veneer evoke the best of German, Danish, and Italian Modernist design from the 1960s. Perfect for Mid Century Modern, Scandinavian Modern, Minimalist, Contemporary, Eclectic, Modernist, Bauhaus, and Luxury Interiors, this unit works beautifully as a media center, office wall system, dining storage, or statement living-room feature. Comparable vintage rosewood wall units of this scale regularly list between $10,000–$15,000, making this an incredible opportunity for collectors, designers, and homeowners wanting a museum-level piece at a fraction of market pricing. A rare, investment-grade storage wall with unmatched presence, craftsmanship, and Mid Century authenticity.
