Danish Brazilian Rosewood Bookcase on Chrome Base, c1960s

Danish Brazilian Rosewood Bookcase on Chrome Base, c1960s

$0.00 AUD

An exceptional example of Danish Mid-Century Modern design, this bookcase offers a striking study in contrasts.

It pairs the deep, luxurious warmth of highly figured Brazilian Rosewood with the cool, architectural lines of a polished chrome base. Professionally restored to showroom condition, this is a statement piece for the collector who appreciates fine craftsmanship and rare materials.

The cabinet is crafted from Brazilian Rosewood (Dalbergia nigra), arguably the most coveted timber of the mid-20th century. The wood grain is spectacular — rich, dark, and expressive — showcasing the kind of figuring that is virtually impossible to find in modern furniture production.

The unit features fully adjustable shelving, allowing for versatile display options for books, art, or objects. It rests on a sleek, custom polished chrome base, which elevates the piece both physically and visually, giving it a light, floating appearance despite its solid construction.

Due to CITES protections on Brazilian Rosewood, furniture of this caliber is a finite resource. It represents a piece of design history that cannot be replicated today, making this not just a functional item, but a genuine investment piece that will grow in rarity and value over time.
