Chinese Bookcase with Beveled Glass Doors

Black paint, worn back at every edge, and a lot of glass to keep clean.

This bookcase with beveled glass doors comes from China and is contemporary, built of elmwood. Glazed bookcases were made for libraries and studies, keeping books free of dust while leaving them in view. Black paint breaks along the frames, showing tan wood at the edges and around each pane. Paired doors stack in three tiers, each divided into small panes by thin muntins. Behind them, a pale grey-green interior and shelves catch the light. A deep cornice caps it. Over seven and a half feet tall at 91.5 inches, 59 long and 15 deep.

Your books will finally look as tired as they are.
