Entirely clad in warm honey-colored teak veneer, it's a welcoming piece. The upper section forms a luminous display cabinet, closed by two sliding glass panels. We love the matte brass detail that adds both light and an elegant touch. The lower section, a closed cabinet, offers ample storage space. The minimalist black metal base with gold glides provides a subtle contrast to the wood. In a living room or bedroom, this bookcase-display cabinet is a striking piece that adds character to a stylish and inviting interior.

This vintage piece dates from the 1960s and is finished in honey-gold teak veneer. The display cabinet has three adjustable shelves and is closed by two sliding glass doors. The cabinet has one shelf; the handles are original, though some of the gold plating is missing. The square-section black metal base has adjustable gold glides. The unit is stable, elegant, solid, and in good condition. Signs of wear are visible on the sides, including some veneer loss and minor scratches.
