A superb English Art Deco bedside cabinet by Walter Carter for Harrods Ltd, dating from the 1930s. Beautifully crafted in richly figured burr walnut, the cabinet features striking book-matched veneers, contrasting ebony stringing and a geometric inlaid top, all raised on elegant turned legs.
Retaining its original decorative drop ring handle and the original Walter Carter – Harrods Ltd paper label inside the cupboard, this is a quality piece from one of the cabinet makers who supplied Harrods during the Art Deco period. The exceptional burr walnut veneers and refined proportions exemplify the understated elegance and craftsmanship of the era.
Compact yet practical, the cupboard offers useful storage, making it ideal as a bedside cabinet, lamp table or occasional side table. Its timeless design allows it to sit effortlessly within both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Presented in good antique condition with age-related wear consistent with nearly a century of use, including light surface marks, minor knocks and some veneer shrinkage lines, all of which add to its authentic character without detracting from its overall appearance.
