Bookcases and Shelves
Library Ladder Shelving and cabinets. Like a real Library Ladder this one folds on brass hinges and is easily installed. Flush inlaid brass hardware includes hefty bronzed drawer handles. This bookcase will survive for centuries…
A wall cabinet that combines many functions. Its wall-leaning design makes it less bulky and more elegant to the critical eye. Which counts in smaller spaces, but still functions well in larger ones. Storage! Shelves for collectables and books! And the main purpose… space for a 42” flat screen TV. Our brass bound multi-functional cabinet is built to last generations. The gallery ladder cabinet arrives in two easily assembled sections
Kunstkammers Display Cabinet. Kunstkammers are on display at the National Museum in Munich and several other major European museums in the region. Measuring in size from diminutive cabinets with just a few drawers to cabinets that fill entire rooms, they date from the Renaissance to the Age of Enlightenment. Every noble, titled, moneyed or learned gentleman of the day was an assumed collector of unique and unusual objects. This culturally collective behavior was a favored topic of conversation. Individuals, as well as complete expeditions, were fitted out and sent to remote corners of the globe to collect. Old books were hoarded as well as shells, skulls, ivories, minerals, classical art creations and historical artifacts. A prepared crocodile was a highly desired specimen that might hang from the library ceiling.
Our Kunstkammer Cabinet is multi-functional. Modern collectors don’t send out expeditions, preferring to travel and collect the exotica from faraway lands themselves. They want a cabinet that not only stores, but displays, and appeals in its own right.
Sliding doors, large and small drawers, pull out shelves. Solid, heavy, campaign pulls. Elegant crown molding and base. Everything is right about this cabinet that will be the king of the library, living room or classic office.

A home office should not simply be a utilitarian room carved out of the home, it should a comfortable and welcoming space that nourishes the soul, allowing creativity to occur, while fitting seamlessly into the decorating style shown throughout the rest of the home. It should be a place that truly facilitates productive employment, not a space that stifles creative thought.
People who to work from home know that there is more to life than plain walls and boring furniture, so why would they want to fill a space where they will be spending so much time with the same sort of furniture that is found in a business office. A fun working area is much more enjoyable to work in than a boring one... read more about
