Description from the seller
Italian Mid-Century library with storage compartment
Italy in the Fifties
Elegant open-shelf bookcase of 1950s Italian design, associated with the Mid-Century period, characterized by a balanced composition and a refined combination of materials and volumes.
The structure is developed over multiple levels in the open, with shelves veneered with pronounced grain, in a warm amber tone, framed by dark profiles that emphasize its geometric design. The turned wooden uprights, slender and elegant, provide vertical rhythm and lightness to the overall, recalling a sober yet recognizable decorative style typical of Italian production of the period.
The lower part features a storage compartment with double sliding doors, practical and functional, perfect for books, objects, or small containers, maintaining a clean and organized aesthetic. The feet slightly lift the furniture off the ground, adding a touch of elegance and proportion.
A versatile and characterful piece of furniture, ideal as a living room bookshelf, study cabinet, or decorative element for Mid-Century, modern, or eclectic environments, capable of engaging with contemporary interiors without losing its historical identity.
Good overall preservation conditions. The furniture appears solid and well-maintained, with slight signs of age and use that are non-invasive and consistent with original Fifties decor. No significant structural defects are present. The aesthetic flaws are highlighted in the detailed photos, so it is recommended to view all photos as they are an integral part of the description.
Shipping
Professional and careful packaging, with adequate protection of shelves and uprights.
Quote for dismantling the structure for a safer shipment.
Trackable and secure shipping across Europe.
