Drexel Chinoiserie Campaign Style Off White Lighted Display Cabinet Faux Rattan
Located in Topeka, KS
Lovely vintage Chinoiserie or Campaign style off-white lighted display cabinet with faux wrapped rattan edges by Drexel. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. There are a few dings or nicks in the finish and along the bottom edge of piece at floor but nothing major. There is also an overall yellowing or fading to the finish which we consider patina. The inside is purposefully a lighter color than the outside. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Mid-20th Century. Is this a marvelous Display Cabinet? Yes! What about a stunning Bookcase? Yes! Could it be a wonderful China Hutch? Also, YES!! This gorgeous cabinet is comprised of a one-piece off-white painted unit with four lower doors (or 2 double doors) with antiqued brass plated rings or handles and open storage with a shelf behind each set of double doors. The top portion is lighted and features two tall narrow double doors with glass...

Vintage, New and Antique Bookcases

As long as curious people have collected stories, we have needed a place to stow them away and preserve them. When auction houses and book dealers proliferated by the late 17th century, the bibliophile was born. And, of course, as with any treasured objects, a book lover’s volumes were suddenly worthy of a luxurious display — enter the bookcase. Americans of means during the 19th century took to amassing art as well as rare books, and antique bookcases of the era, rife with hand-carved decorative accents and architectural motifs, were ideal for displaying their handsome leather-bound wares.

Although our favorite titles may change over the years, the functionality and beauty of their home within our home is timeless. Whether you proudly shelve your books in regal mahogany or behind glass cabinet doors, a bookcase — or perhaps more than one — is essential to creating a cozy nook for any book lover. Even those who don’t covet the perfect home library can benefit from an attractive display case, as bookcases can easily double as charming étagères

Contemporary and customizable options make it easier for you to find the perfect bookcase for your style and stacks. If you don’t wish to fill your storage piece so that your collection is snug within its confines, incorporate extra space to allow for additional displays and decorative objects. And by introducing a striking dark wood Art Deco bookcase or low-profile mid-century modern design by Paul McCobb into your living room, your signed first editions won’t be the only items making a statement. 

Find your dream bookcase on 1stDibs now.
