Creator: Arthur Umanoff
Offered by: Jarontiques

$ 2,800
  • Description
    Scarcely seen sculptural wrought iron shelving unit designed by Arthur Umanoff for Shaver Howard.
    Unique, graceful pyramid/obelisk-form with four rectangular shelves in faux wood grain laminated pressboard and a rattan basket. Shelves are mounted by screws and can be removed, if a different shelving material is preferred.
    Practical, aesthetically pleasing storage/display solution occupying a small footprint.
    Good, vintage condition with losses to the shelves, as shown. Remains a visually stunning, structurally sound, rare design by Umanoff. All original condition including all parts (note that the vacant space at the top was designed without a shelf, evidenced by the absence of 'ledge' on which the other shelves rest).

    Starting at the top, the shelves/basket measure:
    1: L: 10.25" x D: 8.75"

    3: L: 15" x D: 13.5"
    Basket: L: 17" x D: 17.25"
    4: L: 16.88" x D: 16.75"
    The height between tiers beginning at the top -
    17.88" (pointed top to first shelf)

    11.75" (2nd to 3rd)
    14" (3rd to basket)
