Large Art Deco Cerused Oak Display Cabinet Bookcase circa 1940
About the Item
ART DECO CERUSED AND EBONIZED OAK DISPLAY CABINET WITH FLANKING BLIND BOOKSHELVES
Probably German, as the locks are of German origin executed circa 1940 with chromed steel accents throughout
Item # 401QGP02S
A fabulous Art Deco era display cabinet, the substantial case piece features a glazed central door flanked by two blind-doors on either side. These open to reveal an adjustably shelved interior, the oak bars on the side allowing the 3/8" thick glass shelves to be flexibly changed to suit the books stored within. The central door features a chromed rim around the glass door that cohesively ties in with the chrome-plated keyhole escutcheons and the chrome base molding on the bottom of the cabinet.
It was probably made in Germany, as one of the locks bears markings of German manufacture, though the craftsman may have simply had a preference for this locking mechanism and imported it. Note the high-grade of cabinet work throughout - all surfaces have been carefully veneered with a cerused and ebonized oak, the interior of the center display area with a red-stained cerused oak and the interior of each flanking cabinet space lined with mahogany veneers. Importantly, despite the incredibly spacious proportions, the entire cabinet can be disassembled for safe transport. The top is removed with bolts on the inside corners, each vertical panel then released with bolts from the bottom. If you have a preference for how it is prepared for shipping, certainly let us know, otherwise we will decide based on the preference of the shipping firm for how best to handle the cabinet.
Measurements: 66 7/8" H x 18 1/4" D x 79" W
Condition Report: Surface wear throughout including some streaking and color variation from sun and handling over the years; some wear/cracking/loss around the base where the chromed rim is applied; some finish loss on one door where it seems tape touched the surface; other areas of finish loss; key is not original but does operate the locks relatively well; all glass shelves are brand new, tempered, custom cut and polished for the cabinet - perfect condition; minor wear and rubbing through the chroming throughout, the base chrome molding with more elevated wear (scuffs, scrapes, nicks).
