Description
A matching pair of mid-century Penguin Bookshelves. They are made from teak and have their original labels on the back.
The Penguin Bookshelf was released in 1956 as the result of a collaboration between Penguin and Middlesex furniture-maker Beaver and Tapley. These bookshelves are just deep enough to accommodate a tri-band Penguin Classic and were advertised via inserts in the books themselves - "Designed by Frank Height, DES.R.C.A., M.S.1.A., and made. in conjunction with PENGUIN BOOKS LTD by BEAVER & TAPLEY LTD of Southall, this bookshelf is modern, elegant, thoroughly well made and modest in price. Though the bookshelf will hold approximately 150 Penguins or other small books, the ingeniously planned sections into which it is divided not only each hold small numbers of them neatly upright, but make it easy to separate your volumes into categories (such as fiction, history, poetry or reference) and keep your library looking tidily arranged at all times."
They are in good condition for their age. There are some signs of age and use, some minor marks and light knocks but nothing detrimental and they are strong and sturdy. They have been cleaned and gently polished and are ready for use.
