Brasilia by Broyhill, Credenza

As the world begins to look to Brazil, so do we.  The Brasilia Collection was first introduced by Broyhill at the 1962 Seattle World's Fair.  The collection was inspired by Brasilia, the newly erected capital city of Brazil.  The thoroughly modern city of Brasilia, with its buildings of abstract forms and curves, owes it's design and architecture in large part to architect Oscar Niemeyer.  The inspiration of his distinctive forms is quite apparent in the architecture of Broyhill's Brasilia Collection.  This pecan and walnut credenza from the collection has three center drawers with sculptural brushed brass hardware which are flanked by doors on either side.  The door fronts have raised sculptural decoration which serve as the pulls.  46" l., 17" d., 28" h.  American, c. 1962  SOLD
