Large French Bleached Oak Bookcase Display Cabinet, circa 1940

About the Item

This impressive oak bookcase has four upper glass paneled cabinet doors and four panel cabinet doors below. The oak has been bleached creating a fresh, lighter finish for today's modern home. This large display cabinet is made in two sections, upper and lower, allowing for easier shipping and installation. Both together are approximately 8' tall and 7' wide. Restored, this large wall unit is strong and stable. Locks do not function in upper cabinet; keys are used only as pulls while the lower locks still function. Four keys included. All signs of wear such as cracks, scratches, nicks, shifts to shelving are commensurate with age and do not impact the function of this stunning bookcase.

    ART DECO CERUSED AND EBONIZED OAK DISPLAY CABINET WITH FLANKING BLIND BOOKSHELVES Probably German, as the locks are of German origin executed circa 1940 with chromed steel accents throughout Item # 401QGP02S A fabulous Art Deco era display cabinet, the substantial case piece features a glazed central door flanked by two blind-doors on either side. These open to reveal an adjustably shelved interior, the oak bars on the side allowing the 3/8" thick glass shelves to be flexibly changed to suit the books stored within. The central door features a chromed rim around the glass door that cohesively ties in with the chrome-plated keyhole escutcheons and the chrome base molding on the bottom of the cabinet. It was probably made in Germany, as one of the locks bears markings of German manufacture, though the craftsman may have simply had a preference for this locking mechanism and imported it. Note the high-grade of cabinet work throughout - all surfaces have been carefully veneered with a cerused and ebonized oak, the interior of the center display area with a red-stained cerused oak and the interior of each flanking cabinet space lined with mahogany veneers. Importantly, despite the incredibly spacious proportions, the entire cabinet can be disassembled for safe transport. The top is removed with bolts on the inside corners...
