About the Item

This striking Art Deco bookshelf, crafted in America circa 1935, embodies the Skyscraper Style that was highly influential during the height of the Deco movement. It showcases a clean yet bold architectural aesthetic inspired by the modern verticality of towering buildings of the era. Constructed from warm, rich walnut, this bookshelf highlights the combination of natural and industrial materials characteristic of Deco design. Its sharp linear contours are complemented by sleek black lacquer detailing, creating contrast and elevating the elegance of the piece. Polished chrome pulls accentuate the modernist sensibility, while providing a functional and stylish touch. The bookshelf’s tiered design captures the essence of the Skyscraper Style, with its stepped and layered forms reflecting the machine-age fascination with technological progress and urban architecture. Perfect for showcasing books, décor, or collectibles, it’s a versatile piece that also adds dramatic flair and timeless character to a room. An outstanding example of Art Deco craftsmanship, this bookshelf combines functionality with beautifully streamlined design, making it a must-have for enthusiasts of early modern furniture and architectural-inspired décor.
