Large Italian Bookcase in Walnut, Cherry, and Grasscloth

About the Item

Library, walnut, cherry, grasscloth, Italy, 1950s This delightful bookcase reflects the design principles of the Mid-Century era that rose to prominence in the 1950s and 1960s. The composition is based on four identically sized columns, each uniquely configured to accommodate various open and closed storage units. The defining features of this piece are the intricately carved elements evident in the door panels, resulting in a composition of vertical lines. Three panels are executed in grasscloth, imparting the piece with a natural allure. One can hide its personal belongings by situating them behind closed doors, or alternatively, opt for a clean and open layout by arranging them upon shelves. This sideboard promises to delight any bibliomaniac or art connoisseur with an appreciation for Italian Mid-Century design. Please note that this item is in good, used condition. For further details, we encourage you to reach out to our team of design specialists.
