Description
A long, low rosewood case on a slim dark metal base, with bronze hardware and six feet two of uninterrupted grain. Flush drawer fronts and recessed pulls preserve the clean horizontal line. A restrained form that puts the emphasis on proportion and material.
Florence Knoll
Florence Knoll (1917–2019) was an architect, designer, and president of Knoll Associates. Through the Knoll Planning Unit, she helped define the modern American interior, replacing heavy traditional furnishings with precise casework, textiles, and open, considered layouts. She received the National Medal of Arts in 2002, and her work remains in production and in major museum collections.
Rosewood
Rosewood was among the defining luxury materials of mid-century furniture, prized for its density and dramatic dark figuring. Brazilian rosewood was placed under CITES protection in 1992, making large-scale vintage pieces increasingly scarce.
Attribution
Attributed to Florence Knoll. We are happy to inspect the case and drawer interiors for Knoll labels or markings and provide photographs prior to purchase.
Dimensions: 74.5" L x 18" W x 25.5" H
Shipping & Delivery
The figures below are estimates. Add the piece to your cart and continue to checkout — you will see live rates calculated for that exact item, to your exact address, before you pay anything.
Small items — packed in-house and shipped UPS Ground or 2nd Day Air, usually out within a week. Most run somewhere around $25–$60 depending on size and destination.
Furniture, large art and lighting — delivered white-glove through our freight partners, quoted live at checkout. As a guide, expect roughly $350–$900 to California and the West Coast, and $700–$1,500 nationwide. Delivery usually takes 2–5 weeks outside California.
Buying more than one piece? Get in touch and we will put together a custom bulk shipping quote. Combining pieces into a single shipment is almost always cheaper than paying for each one separately. Email info@thebluedoorsb.com or call 805-364-5144.
Local to Santa Barbara? Pickup at 4 E Yanonali St is free and usually ready within 24 hours. Local delivery to Santa Barbara, Goleta and Montecito is $80 for a one-person delivery, or $160 for two people on larger and heavier pieces.
Condition, Authenticity & Returns
Everything we sell is vintage or antique, and no two pieces are the same. That means honest wear: patina, small marks, the evidence of a long life. We photograph each piece thoroughly and note anything significant in the description. If something is not clear from the photos, ask us before you buy and we will send more.
Our promise. All sales are final — but if a piece arrives damaged, or differs materially from how we described it, tell us within 48 hours of delivery and we will make it right.
Questions about condition, provenance or authenticity? Email info@thebluedoorsb.com or call 805-364-5144. We would far rather answer ten questions than have you buy something that is not right for you.
Hold It, or Come See It
We will hold furniture and art for 24 hours, no deposit, while you measure the room or think it over. Call the shop at 805-364-5144.
In Santa Barbara? Come see this one in person. We are at 4 E Yanonali St in the Funk Zone, open 10am–6pm Monday through Saturday and 11am–5pm Sunday. New pieces arrive every day — far more than we can list online.
