Measuring an impressive 60 inches wide and 72 inches high, this substantial statement piece features a polished architectural chrome frame with staggered clear and black glass shelves.

The upper section is accented by two elaborate brass spindle galleries inspired by classical architectural balustrades. Stepped brass plinth feet provide an elegant foundation while repeating the warm metallic detailing above. The dramatic combination of chrome, brass and glass gives the piece a glamorous Hollywood Regency and Neoclassical Modern character.

Its asymmetrical arrangement of open shelving creates visual movement while maintaining a light, transparent appearance. The luxurious mixed-metal construction recalls designs produced by Mastercraft and other prominent American furniture makers during the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Ideal as a display étagère, open bookcase or sophisticated bar shelf in a living room, library, dining room or cocktail area. The underside retains a small label marked “19-81,” believed to be a production or inventory notation.

Dimensions: 60ʺ W × 18ʺ D × 72ʺ H.

Presented in vintage condition with wear consistent with age and use. Please review the photographs for additional condition details. See less
