Description from the seller

This wall shelf is made of wrought iron with an aged finish, featuring a two-tier structure with visible grain wooden shelves. The upper back panel incorporates a decorative relief of birds perched on branches, a naturalistic motif that directly references the visual language of the British Arts & Crafts movement of the early 20th century.

The design combines functionality with handcrafted ornamentation, following the principles of the English modernist style: simple lines, honest materials, and an aesthetic inspired by nature. The presence of birds and foliage in the relief not only adds beauty but also reflects the movement's ideal of integrating art into everyday objects.

The metal structure displays handcrafted joints and finishes, with a patina that enhances its rustic and authentic character. The wooden shelves, probably made of stained oak or pine, bear signs of use that contribute to their historic charm.

This type of shelving was conceived for domestic interiors with aesthetic sensitivity, such as living rooms, studies, or kitchens, where decoration is inseparable from utility. Its style lies between early modernism and the artisanal design of William Morris and his followers, with a clear intention to dignify everyday furniture through artistic craftsmanship.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
