Dating to the early 20th century, it combines restrained Edwardian and Arts & Crafts lines with a delicate glass-paneled door, warm aged wood, and subtle curves across the front.

Its proportions are perhaps its greatest asset. At just 14 inches wide and 8.5 inches deep, it can tuck against a wall almost anywhere, bringing the atmosphere of an old English library or country house without the scale or commitment of traditional antique case furniture. Its narrow footprint is particularly appealing for apartments and smaller rooms, while the clean lines and gentle curves allow it to mix beautifully with later design, including Art Deco and Mid-Century Modern.

Behind the glass, the intimate shelves are ideal for favorite books, ceramics, curiosities, or treasured objects. Elegant without being imposing, this is the sort of antique that can anchor a corner and give a room an immediate sense of history and character. See less
