Wicker and Glass Etagere Bookcase Display Shelf by Founders, Mid Century Modern

An exceptional American Mid-Century Modern wicker and glass étagère designed and manufactured by Founders in the United States during the 1960s. Combining sculptural form with refined craftsmanship, this architectural display cabinet features a tubular steel frame completely wrapped in handwoven wicker, creating a warm organic aesthetic balanced by clean modern lines.

The elegant waterfall silhouette and rounded corners make this piece an ideal statement for a living room, library, bedroom, sunroom, or luxury retail setting. Three floating tempered glass shelves provide generous display space for books, ceramics, art glass, sculptures, collectibles, or decorative objects while maintaining an airy, open appearance.

The meticulous woven wicker construction softens the industrial steel frame, making this an outstanding example of American craftsmanship from the golden era of Mid-Century Modern furniture. Its versatile design complements a wide range of interiors including California Modern, Organic Modern, Coastal, Tropical Modern, Palm Beach Regency, Hollywood Regency, Contemporary, and Scandinavian-inspired spaces.

Highly sought after by interior designers, collectors, and architects, this sculptural étagère functions equally well as a room divider, display cabinet, bookshelf, or decorative shelving unit, bringing warmth, texture, and timeless sophistication to any interior.
