Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

This freestanding 1930s Art Deco piece functions as a combination book shelf and magazine rack, finished in a warm brown oak timber. The upper section contains open shelving designed for upright books, enclosed by shaped sides and a shaped arched gallery top. Below the shelving sits a partitioned lower trough with a fold-open two-compartment magazine holder, accented at the base by a carved apron motif and raised on splayed feet. The construction utilizes visible wood grain and traditional joinery methods suited to a gentleman's library or study environment. Standing 88 cm high, 47 cm wide, and 22 cm deep, the unit requires minimal floor space. It suits placement at the end of a sofa or beside an armchair in a living room, hallway, or home office to hold daily reading materials and reference volumes within easy reach.

FAQs

During the 1930s, compact multi-functional furniture pieces became popular in British homes, combining upper open shelving with lower compartments specifically designed for organising periodicals, newspapers, and hardback books.

These pieces were predominantly constructed from solid oak or oak veneers, featuring traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon joints, often accented with light relief carvings or geometric motifs characteristic of the era.

Authentic pieces from the 1930s typically display medium-to-dark stained oak finishes, stylized Art Deco or lingering Arts and Crafts decorative carvings, and period-correct construction techniques without modern modern slot screws or synthetic glues.

Position the unit alongside an armchair in a reading nook or living room to display art books and periodicals, blending warm timber tones with contemporary upholstered seating.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the timber and preserve its finish, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners.
