About the Item

PAIR OF FRENCH MODERNE OAK BOOKCASES One larger, one smaller, each with sliding glass doors unmarked circa 1960s Item # 402XAP21S A very relevant and useful pair of bookcases for today's interior, these were carefully designed in a way that makes them largely eternally gorgeous. With a raised geometric latticework on the lower doors forming diamonds, the bookcases are otherwise free of distraction or embellishment. They are designed to let the natural beauty of the oak veneers create all of the texture and visual interest; these have beautifully aged and patinated over the decades to create the mellow surfaces we have today. They are made in two parts to allow both to be easily moved around a room. The upper doors are glass panes that travel in channels to allow easy access to the adjustably-shelved interior. The lower doors each retain their original keys and hold two adjustable shelves as well. Note that the bookcases are perfectly complimentary, made as a pair, but of different dimensions: one slightly more petite. Measurements: [larger bookcase] 78 1/2" H x 16 1/2" D x 37 1/4" W; [smaller bookcase] 78 1/4" H x 14 1/2" D x 29 1/2" W Condition Report: No key for the small lock at the bottom of the door on the larger cabinet; key retained for each cabinet for the middle locks; some color variation from time and sun exposure through the decades; very minor scuffing to the glass doors; tiny veneer losses to the sides of the upper bookcases that have been filled and colored; a very fine presentation.

Large Art Deco Cerused Oak Display Cabinet Bookcase circa 1940

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...
