ABOUT PRODUCTID 9680
This McIntosh bookcase, produced in the UK during the 1960s, is crafted from mahogany and teak, resulting in a warm brown tone with a distinct golden grain. Measuring 153 × 92 × 30 cm, it features an asymmetrical layout: the left side contains a full cabinet door with vertical wood grain and a discreet horizontal handle, while the central and right sections offer open shelving, partially enclosed with new, clear glass panels. The tapered legs, slightly splayed outward and finished with brass tips, exemplify the mid-century modern aesthetic. The softly rounded upper edges of the side panels counterbalance the geometric structure, while all wood surfaces are finished with Danish oil for a subtle satin sheen and smoothness. The joinery is precise, with no visible hardware. Condition: fully restored, with no visible signs of wear. This bookcase echoes the calm sensibility of 1960s British modernism. Its proportions and materials tell of an era that sought harmony between practicality and understated refinement. The golden, richly textured wood seems to speak of nature’s abundance and craftsmanship that shunned excess ornamentation. The asymmetrical composition hints at flexibility for the user, while the rounded side profiles introduce a gentle softness into the everyday architectural rhythm. Within an interior, the McIntosh bookcase could serve as a focal point in a mid-century modern living room or study. It may be paired with a low wool-upholstered armchair, a geometric coffee table, or a lamp with brass accents to highlight its timeless qualities. The piece works well against light walls, complemented by framed graphic prints or period glassware. For more eclectic arrangements, combining it with boldly patterned textiles could create a welcoming zone for reading
