This bookcase, designed by Jean-Claude Mahey, embodies the elegance of 1970s French design. The piece is distinguished by its bold use of elm burl, an emblematic material of the era, which lends the piece unparalleled visual richness and warmth. The structure comprises a lower section forming a two-door storage unit, topped by a two-door smoked glass display cabinet. Brass finishes, including the hinges and framing details, accentuate the bookcase's geometric lines. The interior of the display cabinet features glass shelves, providing a refined exhibition space for collectibles or art books. The piece is in excellent condition, attesting to its authenticity and history. The natural patina of the wood and the marks of time add to the character of this vintage piece, which retains all its functionality and sculptural appeal. Ideal for a Hollywood Regency or modernist interior, this bookcase fits perfectly in a sophisticated living room or executive office. It pairs beautifully with velvet seating and brass lighting to create a luxurious and timeless atmosphere. The bottom left door needs to be reattached.
