Large Art Deco Bookcase, Czechoslovakia, 1930s
A magnificent and architecturally impressive Art Deco wall unit produced in Czechoslovakia in the 1930s. This large storage piece showcases classic pre-war craftsmanship, including stepped forms, geometric lines, and richly patterned wood veneer. The composition combines upper open shelves, a central bookcase section, and lower enclosed cabinets, creating a balanced and visually striking silhouette typical of the Art Deco period.
Despite its substantial size, the piece retains an elegant presence thanks to its clean geometry and refined proportions. The wall unit has been preserved in well-maintained original condition for its age, showing minor surface wear and natural patina visible on closer inspection, consistent with an 80–90-year-old piece. The structure is stable, the wood is healthy, and all doors and sections operate properly.
Suitable for spacious interiors such as libraries, living rooms, studios, offices, or period-style environments seeking an authentic historical centerpiece.
