Edmond Spence Mahogany Sideboard Woven Sea Grass Faced Doors Industrial Mueblera

Creator: Industria Mueblera Mexico -Edmond Spence
Offered by: Appleton

Description
This mahogany cabinet is an elegant example of Edmund Spence's integration of traditional Mexican craft with Mid-Century Modern styling.
Designed for the Mexican manufacturer "Industria Mueblera, S.A." in the late 1950s.
A solid mahogany three-door credenza with a subtle almost oriental leg and stretcher underlie the strongly graphic woven faced cabinet door fronts.
The woven grass rope set into raised mahogany frames creates a strong textural surface across the face of this buffet in contrast to the subtly grained mahogany.
The linear pattern created by the raised panels of perpendicular woven grass is a successful minimalist exercise in material, line and shadow.
The placement of the diagonal joinery of the cabinet doors mathematically reflect an intentional relationship in the positioning of these intersections and the weaving of the grass rope.
This is a superb example of Mexican craftsmanship.
The case is branded on various drawers with Edmund Spence's Industria Mueblera stamp plus further identification is stenciled on the back of the case.
The sideboard is in excellent condition.
