Description from the seller
Antique Empire-style open-shelf bookcase in walnut burl and thuja burl.
An important Empire-style open bookcase, dating from the early years of the 20th century, made with precious veneers in walnut burl and thuja burl. The architectural structure develops vertically with sober and balanced lines, punctuated by four front cylindrical-section columns, adorned with finely chased capitals in gilded bronze, a clear nod to neoclassical aesthetics.
The central body houses three open shelves, in addition to the base, ideal for placing books or decorative objects. The upper cap features a moulded frame with a wide burl veneer band, which gives movement and depth to the piece. The base is solid and well-proportioned, with feet enriched by bronze elements. The surfaces show a warm amber tone, with lively and dense grain typical of the woods used.
An elegant, imposing piece of furniture, perfect for studies, libraries, or classic interiors, an expression of the quality and formal rigor of early 20th-century cabinetmaking inspired by the Empire style.

Any keys or accessories are not included unless explicitly stated in the photographs and the item description.
The items are presented in good overall condition, consistent with their age. The natural signs of time and use attest to the authenticity of the pieces and do not compromise their beauty, shape, or structural integrity.
Please consider that, as these are antique or vintage items, there may be slight defects, signs of wear, or small imperfections due to their long passage of time. Such characteristics are considered an integral part of the charm and historical value of each piece.
Standard delivery does not include porterage or delivery to the floor. If you wish to add this additional service, it must be communicated promptly immediately after purchase; this option is not available for international shipments.
For a comprehensive evaluation of the item, we invite you to carefully examine the photographs, which are an integral part of the description. This will allow you to fully appreciate its authenticity and condition, avoiding any misunderstandings. *
