Catalogue Note
The following five lots were executed by the hand of Danish master cabinet maker Peder Moos during his time spent at Østrupgaard manor, Denmark, between 1944 and 1945. The manor was used as a hideout from the Gestapo, during which time Moos produced around 20 pieces for the estate. Using the humble materials available on-site including pine, teak and beech, the results are deceptively simple and beautifully understated. Displaying a high degree of craftsmanship and fine attention to detail, each unique example bears testament to one of the greatest Danish cabinet makers of the 20th Century.
