Description from the seller
An antique French magazine rack, crafted in solid mahogany and finished in the Louis XV style, dated to the second half of the 19th century. This piece combines functionality and decorative refinement, ideal for classic interiors or discerning collectors.
Its structure comprises three vertical compartments designed to organize magazines, sheet music, or correspondence, delineated by panels cut in the shape of a lyre with wavy edges, evoking Rococo aesthetics. The cabriole legs, with an elegant curve and a scroll terminal, provide visual lightness and stylistic continuity with 18th-century drawing-room furniture.
The mahogany, with a deep tone and uniform grain, has been carefully polished, revealing a warm patina that testifies to its age and good condition. The construction is entirely handcrafted, with solid joints and harmonious proportions, which reinforces its value as both a decorative and utilitarian object.
A singular piece in design, with noble materials and an evocative character, perfect for setting spaces with soul or enriching a collection of historical furniture. Its discreet yet distinguished presence makes it a decorative accent with great personality.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
