A building designed by\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003earchitect Martin Nyrop in the Danish Art Nouveau style (\"Skønvirke\"), also referred to as the National Romantic style. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNyrop designed the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003etotality of the Town Hall: exterior, accessories, \u0026amp; furnishings. Construction on the building began in 1892 and concluded in 1905, therefore this bookcase was designed, built and installed before 1905. This makes the design one of the first major collaborations for cabinetmaker Rudolph Rasmussen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn keeping with the salient aesthetics of the Arts and Craft movement, the construction of the cabinet is simple, yet exceptionally executed, and exposes the construction of the design throughout. The joints connecting the cabinetry to the frame are visible on the sides. These visible joints accompany the simple decoration of a crenelated border, limited to the top and bottom shelves. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bookcase is in excellent vintage condition.
