Albini-inspired Italian Boho Arched Rattan Etagere Shelf W/ Wicker Wrappings

About the Item

This beautifully restored Paul Frankl-inspired mid-century rattan étagère with a Franco Albini-inspired design featuring a large arching form with intricately woven crisscrossing stick rattan shelves and sides fixed to large pole rattan arches. It showcases four open shelves for the display of books or antiquities. The shelf has large arched fronts with finely woven wicker accents along the sides and a rounded curved top. The natural tone of the rattan frame and mahogany bring a warm, organic feel to this modernist piece. It is ideal for adding Mid-century design with a Hawaiian flair. Dimensions: 75" H x 14 1/4 L x 29 1/2 W Italy, 1960 We only purchase and sell the best and finest rattan furniture made by the best and most well-known American designers and manufacturers including Ritts Company. (Herb Sr. and Shirley Ritts) Tropitan Seven Seas Rattan Paul Frankl Tropical Sun Rattan These designers and companies helped to popularize rattan furniture in the United States during the 1930s thru the 1960s. Shirley Ritts was the mother of the photographer and music video director Herb Ritts Jr. Shirley Ritts was born in Baltimore, Maryland on October 28, 1920. Herb Ritts Sr. also invented the "S springs" under the cushions in the early 50s and replaced the wrapping with preformed plastic. Paul Frankl came from New York just before the Depression after a great run designing his renowned Skyscraper furniture line. He designed and decorated the homes of Hollywood’s top stars and producers from his Beverly Hills shop. Paul Laszló was a Hungarian-born architect and interior designer whose work spanned eight decades and many countries. László built his reputation while designing interiors for houses in the 1950s to 60s, including rattan furniture in his own style. C.W. Fishbeck started Tropical Sun Rattan of Pasadena in 1905. Tropical Sun produced top quality real rattan furniture in the Philippines where most of the above designers also had their designs made. He had showrooms across the country.
