Italian Modern Rosewood Wall Unit/Bookcase by Gianfranco Frattini for Bernini
-
Description
Model 540 modular bookcase designed by Gianfranco Frattini for Bernini (ca. 1960s, Italy).
Uncommon rosewood example composed of four vertical slatted-rails creating three bays including 14 shelves and one drop-down storage/bar cabinet with a removable shelf - all supported by adjustable, aluminum feet.
The shelves and cabinet can be displayed in a number of configurations. There are 17 slots for shelves that are vertically 3.88" inches apart (the lowest the distance between shelves can be is 3.88").
There are holes screwed through the rails in places, as shown, as once the ideal placement is decided, the bar cabinet needs to be screwed into place for stability.
Very good, expertly refinished condition, though light wear remains (few spots where previous screw holes have been filled/light, general wear).
