- George Nakashima
- Triple Sliding-Door Cabinet
- with client's name and inventory number to the reverse

Provenance
Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner, 1968
Condition
Overall very good condition. The wood surfaces present with minor nicks, scuffs and scratches, consistent with age and gentle use. The proper right front edge with a series of very small/shallow dents, only visible upon close inspection. The proper left front edge with a small scuff to the figured edge. The pandanus cloth with a minor loss and light wear to the weave at the bottom edge of one panel (central panel in the catalogue illustration). Overall a classic example of George Nakashima's restrained and elegant design, the top presents with a light undulation to the board, accented with darker peg joints.
