Vladimir Kagan, The Complete Kagan, A Lifetime of Avant-Garde Design, New York, 2004, p. 99 (model series variant illustrated)

Overall good condition consistent with age. The wood is very slightly darker in person than in the catalogue illustration. The wood surfaces present with faint minor surface scratches, nicks and scattered minor abrasions, particularly along upper edges, consistent with age and gentle use. The proper left door with some faint hairlines to the veneer as well as some minor loss to the varnish at the upper edge, but all seem stable. The interior upper edge of this door with some veneer loss (2x4in.). Some scuffing to the inside lower edge of the cabinet where the door slides in and out. The producer's label is present on the inside edge of the top interior drawer. A minor loss to the inside edge of the adjustable shelf., but likely where the clip fits in. Overall the cabinet is a scarce mid-century model that presents well overall.
