Description
An exceptional and highly unusual architectural commode by the renowned Kittinger Furniture Company of Buffalo, New York. Beautifully crafted in richly figured cherry, this sophisticated late 20th-century cabinet showcases the superior materials, meticulous craftsmanship, and timeless design for which Kittinger has long been celebrated.
Distinguished by its ingenious tri-sided configuration, the cabinet features eighteen drawers in total, with six drawers opening from the front, six from the left side, and six from the right side. The fully finished paneled back confirms the piece was designed to stand freely within a room, making it equally impressive from every angle while offering exceptional functionality and accessibility.
Architectural in both form and execution, the cabinet is defined by crisp reeded frieze moldings that wrap continuously around the case, a stepped central drawer tower, clean rectilinear lines, and a substantial plinth base. The original cylindrical cherry pulls with brushed metal posts complement the restrained modern aesthetic while allowing the richly figured cherry veneers to remain the visual focus.
Opening the drawers reveals finely crafted solid oak drawer boxes with hand-cut dovetail joinery, reflecting the uncompromising quality associated with Kittinger’s finest production. The cabinet’s unusual three-sided drawer arrangement offers remarkable versatility, making it ideal as a luxury bedroom commode, collector’s cabinet, jewelry or watch cabinet, executive storage piece, or statement furnishing in a dressing room, library, or office.
Rarely encountered on the market, this remarkable Kittinger cabinet combines sculptural architectural presence with practical utility and represents an outstanding example of late 20th-century American craftsmanship. Its uncommon configuration, freestanding design, and exceptional construction make it an ideal acquisition for collectors of fine American furniture and discerning interior designers alike.
