This pair of early 20th-century shelves owes its minimal design to the simplified lines and austere aesthetic of Ming-dynasty furniture. Likely centerpieces in the studio of a Qing-dynasty scholar, the open display shelves would have showcased books, scrolls, decorative vases, and precious antiques. Enhanced by a crazed lacquer finish, the clean lines of these bookcases work seamlessly into contemporary interiors as an elegant storage solution.

What They're Saying

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
