Pair of Chrome & Glass Half Moon Art Deco Styled Ladder Back Book Shelves

About the Item

This pair of Mid-Century Modern era chrome and glass half moon shelves bear no maker's signature, but are believed to have been made in the United States in an Art Deco style. The shelves are made of chromed metal and done in a ladder back fashion, one being convex, making for a multiple shelves of various heights. The units are very sturdy and are held together with chrome screws and a welded base. The base has an accenting chrome tube as support for the curved component. There are currently three glass shelves for each shelf unit, and we are not positive they are original, or if there were more at one time. The dimensions posted refer to the total size of each individual section. In addition, the ladder rungs are spaced approximately nine and a half inches a part, should you require varying shelf heights.
