This American art deco bookcase in the Skyscraper style was made by Modernage. It is shown in a brochure they produced titled “Shadows of Magnitudes” between 1929 and 1933. In it they state that it is inspired by Hugh Ferris (Hugh Ferris 1889 – 1962) the famous American delineator, but the obvious inspiration was Paul Frankl, whose Skyscraper bookcases were the rage of that period. The bookcase is constructed of black and red lacquered wood and contains numerous cubbyholes, doors and drawers as it rises skyward. The bookcase is in two parts for easy handling and is 75” high x 41” wide and 16” deep.
