The cabinet features two generously sized stacked compartments, each fitted with a large glass-front door that lifts upward and slides back into the case, providing full access to the interior.

Raised on an integrated steel base with squared legs, the cabinet has a wonderfully utilitarian, architectural presence. Small metal pulls accent each door, while the expansive glass fronts make the piece particularly well suited for displaying books, objects, ceramics, collectibles, or merchandise.

The straightforward construction and original gray finish give the cabinet an appealing Machine Age and industrial modern character. Its large scale and clean proportions allow it to work equally well as a barrister bookcase, display cabinet, storage cabinet, or statement piece in a residential, commercial, gallery, or retail interior.

The cabinet retains an intentionally honest vintage appearance, with scratches, scuffs, finish loss, marks, and areas of oxidation consistent with age and previous use. These imperfections contribute to its authentic industrial character. Please refer closely to photographs for condition.

The Eames dowel-leg chair shown in the final photograph is included for scale only and is not included with the cabinet. See less
