Description from the seller
Monumental glazed bookcase/display cabinet Art Deco / Early Modernism – Deutsche Werkstätten Hellerau, Munich, late 1920s – early 1930s
Exceptional German-made display cabinet, produced by the renowned manufactory Deutsche Werkstätten Hellerau – Munich, between the late 1920s and the early 1930s. The piece, of monumental proportions, is entirely veneered in precious Macassar ebony, with a geometric grain arranged in a herringbone pattern on the surface of the base, giving a visually refined effect. The upper part features four wide glass doors with adjustable internal shelves, while the lower section consists of a sideboard with dark lacquered drawers and side compartments, equipped with original metal handles with an elegant sinuous design. Inside the door is the original circular metal plate stamped “Deutsche Werkstätten A.G. Hellerau – München”, an authentic quality mark and provenance from one of the most important workshops of the Deutscher Werkbund.
Condition: solid and intact structure, with a beautiful antique patina and original glazing. Shows slight signs of age consistent with its age. The locks do not close with a key, but are mechanically functional.
Transport notes: due to its bulk and considerable weight, local pickup is recommended.
