A beautifully simple and honest oak bookstand in the Arts & Crafts tradition, dating to the early 20th century. Made with clean, angular lines and a subtle decorative flourish to the backrest, this piece carries the unpretentious charm of utility elevated by craftsmanship.
The four shelves are practical and well-proportioned, offering plenty of room for books, plants or curios. Constructed in solid dark oak with visible hand-tooling marks and aged patina, it stands confidently on square tapering legs with no nonsense and no frills—just beautiful wood and good proportions.
This would be at home in an artist’s studio, country cottage or pared-back Japandi interior. The carved motif at the back is a lovely understated nod to the movement’s aesthetic ideals. Some minor wear and scuffs consistent with age, including nicks to edges and surface scratches, all of which add character rather than detract.
Height: 39" (98.5cm)
Width: 22" (56 cm)
Depth: 9" (20 cm)
A soulful and useful piece with a quietly poetic presence.
