Description from the seller
Large Antique Tuscan Chestnut Wood Library.
An important, large Tuscan library (bookcase) made of solid chestnut wood, dating from the early 20th century. The structure, imposing and well-proportioned, is composed of several adjacent modules with a broad open upper section divided by vertical pilasters and internal shelves, ideal for displaying books or decorative objects.
The lower section features a sequence of paneled doors and upper drawers, all original, which offer ample storage capacity. The moulded frames, carved capitals, and the sober yet elegant architectural line give the piece of furniture an authoritative, timeless character.
The wood is in excellent condition, perfectly preserved, free of woodworms, with a patina consistent with the period. A piece of furniture with a strong visual presence, ideal for libraries, professional offices, or formal reception areas.
