Beaver & Tapley Sliding Glass Bookcase by Richard Hornby Mid Century Teak Display Cabinet

A refined mid-century modern sliding glass bookcase by Beaver & Tapley, designed by Richard Hornby, dating from the 1960s. This elegant cabinet exemplifies British modernist furniture at its best, combining clean architectural lines with beautifully proportioned teak construction.

 

The bookcase features smooth-running sliding glass doors that allow the contents to be displayed while remaining protected, making it ideal for books, ceramics, vinyl, or curated decorative objects. Internally, adjustable shelving provides flexible storage, while the warm teak tones add depth and character to any interior.

 

Compact yet visually strong, this piece works equally well as a low bookcase, display cabinet, or media unit, fitting effortlessly into both classic mid-century interiors and contemporary spaces.
