1960s Mid-Century Danish Wall-Mounted Oak Valet by Adam Hoff & Poul Østergaard for Virum Møbelsnedkeri

Description

Elevate your entryway or dressing area with this Mid-Century Danish wall-mounted valet, a sculptural and highly functional furnishing piece designed by Adam Hoff & Poul Østergaard for Virum Møbelsnedkeri in the 1950s. Crafted from warm oak with elegant finger-jointed corners, the valet features practical elements like a fold-down hanger, leather tie straps, – perfect for gently organizing jackets, trousers, and accessories with ease and style.

This is one of three that I have in my inventory – this is the only one with a MDF backing and the “A. Petersen” sticker. I have to assum that that was the company that added the “new” MDF backing and re sold it with their sticker.

This piece also has a broken leather strap, but still holds a light coat and looking impressive as is on a wall.
