Description from the seller

Doppio Corpo Mahogany Bookcase – England, 19th Century

Refined example of British cabinetmaking, this double-body bookcase in precious mahogany combines formal elegance with extraordinary storage capacity. The piece is presented in excellent structural condition, with a warm wood tone and deep grain that enhance its historical value.

Technical and Structural Details: Upper Part: Characterized by a wide three-compartment display cabinet, equipped with height-adjustable shelves to accommodate volumes of different sizes or decorative objects.

Lower Part: Composed of solid-wood doors that conceal an interior organized with shelves. The right door reveals an extremely rare and valuable detail, an internal nine-drawer chest, perfect for storing cutlery, documents, or small collectible items.

Style and Origin: Linear and majestic design typical of 1800s English taste, ideal for professional studies or prestigious residences.

Central Part: maximum depth 51 cm

Upper Part: depth 30 cm, height 133 cm

Total Height: 230 cm

To facilitate transport and ensure maximum safety of the piece, the bookcase has already been disassembled into its main sections and is ready for shipment. This will allow optimal protective packaging for each section and easy installation in the destination rooms.

This bookcase represents a high-class furnishing solution, where material quality meets intelligent functionality. The presence of the internal drawer chest and the possibility to adjust the upper shelves make the piece versatile and ready for display in an elite private library.
