Description

An impressive and detailed bleached oak open bookcase, dating to circa 1880, crafted in two sections for ease of transport and display.

The decorative carved cornice sits above two open compartments, each housing three height-adjustable shelves, providing flexible storage or display for books. The open design is framed by deeply carved pilasters, and the entire section is adorned with exquisite, high-relief carvings of floral garlands, fruit clusters, and foliage, showcasing a masterful attention to naturalistic detail and depth.

The lower cabinet features a pair of beautifully carved panel doors, these doors open to reveal a single fixed shelf inside, offering concealed storage. The base is sturdily constructed, with a plinth foot and additional carved detailing that unifies the design from top to bottom.

The wood has been sympathetically bleached, giving the piece a lighter, more contemporary feel while still honoring the depth and character of the oak grain and its historical origins. This combination of functional design and intricate ornamentation makes the bookcase both a practical storage solution and a stunning decorative centerpiece.
