This Art Deco bookcase dates from 1930 and combines a cabinet section with open shelving in a single versatile unit. The piece is constructed from walnut with a burr walnut veneer, showing warm brown wood tones across the surfaces. Design details include rounded corners on the left end, an offset cupboard door fitted with a rectangular chrome handle, and three open shelves to the right. Both sections provide storage space, standing at 83.2 cm high, 106.5 cm wide, and 27 cm deep. In a modern home, this low cabinet suits placement in a living room, study, or hallway for book storage and display. The waxed and polished finish highlights the natural grain patterns of the wood, while the clean geometric lines reflect the period aesthetic. The internal shelves allow flexible arrangement of items, and the compact depth makes it suitable for rooms where floor space is limited. The item remains in very good condition with professional restoration completed where necessary.

FAQs

Art Deco furniture, prominent from the 1920s through the 1930s, is defined by geometric shapes, streamlined contours, and rich wood veneers. Designs from this era prioritize clean lines, symmetrical proportions, and decorative surface patterns over intricate hand carving.

Craftsmen frequently used highly figured wood veneers such as burr walnut, mahogany, and macassar ebony applied over solid timber frames. Cabinet hardware was typically fabricated from chrome, brass, or early plastics like Bakelite.

Authentic pieces feature period-correct joinery, natural aged patination, original metal escutcheons or handles, and distinctive burr walnut or veneer matching. The construction often combines curved corner moulding with simple low-profile bases.

Position the piece along a focal wall, using the flat top surface to display structural ceramics, brass lamps, or framed prints. Balance the open shelving with curated books or minimalist decorative objects to complement contemporary or eclectic interiors.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish twice a year to nourish the veneer. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying, cracking, or uneven colour fading.
