Pair Dunbar Early Modern Mahogany Bookcases, Model 3312

About the Item

Introduced in 1933, these wonderful two-drawer open bookcases are from one of Edward Wormley’s first Modern collections for Dunbar Furniture. The streamlined design feels as fresh and contemporary today as it did almost 100 years ago. Veneered in straight grain mahogany and retaining the original dark finish, the design is elevated with subtle details such as a slight taper to the body, and inset drawers and pulls. Two cabinets available, sold separately.
