This pair of antique bookcases looks surprisingly contemporary with its asymmetrical shelves and clean-lined design. Likely centerpieces in the studio of a 20th century Chinese scholar, the elegant bookcases would have showcased books, scrolls, precious antiques, calligraphy brushes, and other writing materials. The open shelves’ offset arrangement beautifully enhanced the aesthetic presentation of these treasured objects.

Andrea Goldman | Andrea Goldman Design

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
