Italian Modular Rosewood Bookcase Wall Unit by Osvaldo Borsani for Tecno
By Tecno, Osvaldo Borsani
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Large modular rosewood bookcase/wall unit by Osvaldo Borsani for Tecno (ca. 1960, Italy).
Composed of six gold aluminum uprights forming five bays/sections.
Includes:
-locking bar unit with a removable (non-adjustable) shelf and glass surface
-three-drawer chest, a locking cabinet with single adjustable/removable shelf
-twelve shelves
-all original brackets/mounting hardware and two keys.
The set can also be divided to create two separate units (1 and 3 sections or 2 and 2 sections).
Alternatively, we have a second six rail/five section unit, and the two can be combined to create a grand eleven bay system.
Gold aluminum rails and black steel brackets/hardware are all original; rosewood has been refinished and is in very good condition with only light, age-commensurate wear.
Note that the aluminum rails are included (the black backings are ledger boards that we mounted in order to work with the conduit we have running along our wall - they are not necessary for standard wall-mounting and will not be included).
Decorative objects/seating are for illustration purposes only.
Keep reading for more detailed dimensions.
H: 108.63" x L: 139.25" x D: 14" / 40" (cabinet door open including rail).

Danish Mahogany Executive Writing Desk by Ole Wanscher, c. 1950's
By Ole Wanscher
Located in Norwalk, CT
Rich mahogany takes on a glowing, satin-like luminescence in this breathtaking and rare writing desk by Ole Wanscher. The simple form is perfectly proportioned, with elegant squared legs supporting two symmetrical pairs of dovetailed drawers, each topped by a handy brush slide with a recessed center - providing the perfect place to install a handy calendar, a slim pad of custom stationary, or a luxurious leather writing surface - whatever suits your needs! A third large brush slide on the reverse side of the desk pulls out to provide a convenient client work space. The top - which subtly overhangs the base - is finished with a luxuriously thick border of banded inlay, providing textural contrast which further enhances the natural beauty of the figured mahogany.
Stately in its simplicity, this exquisite...

Antique and Vintage Case Pieces and Storage Cabinets for Sale: Find Credenzas, Sideboards, Bookcases and Other Furnishings on 1stDibs
Of all the antique and vintage case pieces and storage cabinets that have become popular in modern interiors over the years, dressers, credenzas and cabinets have long been home staples, perfect for routine storage or protection of personal items.
In the mid-19th century, cabinetmakers would mimic styles originating in the Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI eras for their dressers, bookshelves and other structures, and, later, simpler, streamlined wood designs allowed these “case pieces” or “case goods” — any furnishing that is unupholstered and has some semblance of a storage component — to blend into the background of any interior.
Mid-century modern furniture enthusiasts will cite the tall modular wall units crafted in teak and other sought-after woods of the era by the likes of George Nelson, Poul Cadovius and Finn Juhl. For these highly customizable furnishings, designers of the day delivered an alternative to big, heavy bookcases by considering the use of space — and, in particular, walls — in new and innovative ways. Mid-century modern credenzas, which, long and low, evolved from tables that were built as early as the 14th century in Italy, typically have no legs or very short legs and have grown in popularity as an alluring storage option over time.
Although the name immediately invokes images of clothing, dressers were initially created in Europe for a much different purpose. This furnishing was initially a flat-surfaced, low-profile side table equipped with a few drawers — a common fixture used to dress and prepare meats in English kitchens throughout the Tudor period. The drawers served as perfect utensil storage. It wasn’t until the design made its way to North America that it became enlarged and equipped with enough space to hold clothing and cosmetics. The very history of storage case pieces is a testament to their versatility and well-earned place in any room.
In the spirit of positioning your case goods center stage, decluttering can now be design-minded.
A contemporary case piece with open shelving and painted wood details can prove functional as a storage unit as easily as it can a room divider. Whether you’re seeking a playful sideboard made of colored glass and metals, an antique Italian hand-carved storage cabinet or a glass-door vitrine to store and show off your collectibles, there are options for you on 1stDibs.
