A pair of Art Deco open bookcases from circa 1935, produced by Heal's in medium brown oak. Each bookcase presents a stepped asymmetrical form with a configuration of open storage compartments, framed by flat uprights and simple linear shelving. Visible details include a warm medium brown timber tone, subtle grain patterns across the visible surfaces, and clean rectilinear joints characteristic of the period. Each bookcase measures 91 cm high, 61 cm wide, and 17.5 cm deep. These compact bookcases suit placement against a living room wall, in a home study, or along a hallway, providing accessible storage for books, decorative items, or personal collections while maintaining a compact footprint that complements modern interior layouts.

FAQs

Art Deco furniture from the 1930s frequently incorporates geometric silhouettes, clean functional lines, and stepped architectural profiles that reflect modern design movements of the era.

British furniture manufacturers during this period predominantly utilised solid oak and oak veneers, constructed using traditional joinery methods to ensure stability.

Authentic pieces often feature specific trade markings, such as an inset ivorine maker disc, alongside precise geometric proportions and quality oak timber.

A pair of asymmetrical bookcases can be positioned side by side to create a unified stepped centrepiece, or arranged on opposite sides of a architectural feature to create balance.

Dust surfaces regularly using a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically, while ensuring the wood is kept away from direct heat sources.
