This beautiful buffet is a magnificent example of mid-century modern, a movement stretching from 1945 through the 1960s. Influenced by the German Bauhaus school and Scandinavian design, mid-century modern furniture is characterized by the simplicity of style, the use of natural materials, and the lack of unnecessary embellishment. This outstanding example of this sought-after style ingeniously incorporates the gorgeous grain of the contrasting woods to complement its clean lines and restrained design.
The piece carries a small metal label for Möbel-Mühlschwein in Frankfurt, Germany. However, this is not the maker, but a "einrichtungshaus" or furniture store (möbel is German for furniture). The store reportedly closed in 1981. Think of the stories this incredible piece of cabinetry could tell as it traveled through the decades, beginning Frankfurt and ending up in the Next-to-New trove. However, this is not the end of its journey, as the unique piece could enhance your home.
