About the Item

This pair of wall-mounted shelves, produced in Sweden during the 1950s, offers a refined balance of form and function. Each unit features a rectilinear open cube paired with an extended horizontal shelf, forming a visually striking composition. The contrasting dark back panels introduce depth and provide a quiet stage for displaying objects, books, or ceramics. Crafted in warm-toned wood, the surfaces show only minimal wear, preserving their original character. The construction is sound, and with proper mounting, the shelves are well-suited for both decorative and practical use. Their compact footprint and architectural clarity reflect the principles of Scandinavian postwar design—efficient, understated, and adaptable. Whether installed individually or as a pair, these shelves integrate effortlessly into both modern and traditional interiors. Ideal for living areas, studies, or entryways, they offer a flexible storage solution with a strong visual identity and enduring material quality.
