Ellington Bookcase with Cabinet Base

In a quiet Vermont workshop nestled between maple trees, master craftsman Walter Hayes designed this vintage American bookcase with a vision: to bring the warmth of heritage into the modern home. Inspired by the cabinetry in his grandfather’s 1940s study, Walter chose premium catalpa wood for its rich, visible grain and natural durability. He applied a hand-brushed protective finish to resist wear while preserving the wood’s luster. Using time-honored mortise-and-tenon joinery, each piece is aged by hand for a gently weathered look that speaks of stories untold. The built-in storage cabinet is a nod to practicality, offering room for everything from classic novels to cozy throws. Built for those who appreciate craftsmanship and character, this bookcase brings a touch of Americana into today’s living spaces.

• We want your vintage-style bookcase to stay as beautiful as the day it arrived. Here are a few simple tips to help you care for it:
• Keep it dry: While the catalpa wood has a protective finish, avoid placing the bookcase in damp or overly humid areas. Wipe up any spills right away with a soft, dry cloth.
• No harsh cleaners: Use a damp, lint-free cloth for regular dusting. Avoid abrasive sprays or chemicals — they can damage the finish.
• Mind the sun: Prolonged direct sunlight can fade natural wood. Place the piece where it gets gentle, indirect light if possible.
• Avoid dragging: If you need to move the bookcase, lift it from the base to protect the joints and structure.
• Storage care: Don’t overload the shelves or cabinets. Even sturdy wood deserves gentle use.
• We’re always here if you need help — because quality furniture deserves quality support.
