About the Item

Elegant and highly functional wardrobe cabinet by Van Der Meeren, a fine example of Belgian mid-century modern design. This piece reflects the post-war period where functionality, clean lines, and honest materials were central to everyday living. The cabinet features a refined combination of warm wood veneer, a black metal frame, and sliding doors in soft, muted tones of off-white and grey. The long, sculptural wooden handles add a subtle yet distinctive detail, typical of the era’s attention to craftsmanship. Inside, the cabinet is designed for practical daily use, with shelving that allowed for efficient storage of clothing and household items — perfectly in line with the rational and space-conscious interiors of the 1950s and 60s. Pieces like this were often used in bedrooms or compact living spaces where versatility and organization were key. This example remains completely original, showcasing a beautiful patina and light traces of use consistent with age. The sliding doors function smoothly. In good vintage condition with minor signs of wear. Please refer to the images for details. Two pieces available — see other listings. Price per piece. Dimensions per cabinet: Height: 175 cm Width: 81 cm Depth: 61 cm
