About the Item

This French open bookshelf, made out from pine wood, reflects a quiet and functional approach to design. Its clean, architectural lines and gently tapered side panels give the piece a strong yet understated presence, allowing the natural beauty of the wood to take center stage. The shelves are supported by exposed wooden pegs, a detail that emphasizes both craftsmanship and modularity, while the warm tone and visible grain of the pine add depth and character. The open construction keeps the piece visually light, making it ideal for displaying books, ceramics, or objects without overwhelming a space. Based on its construction, materials, and minimalist aesthetic, this bookshelf likely dates from the mid to late 20th century, circa 1960s–1970s, possibly earlier. Its restrained design sits comfortably between rustic tradition and modernist simplicity. Versatile and timeless, it works equally well in a living room, study, or kitchen, offering both practical storage and sculptural appeal. A beautifully honest example of French utilitarian furniture, where function and form are held in perfect balance. * We can pack and ship world-wide ! Feel free to ask us a quote for shipping.
