Description from the seller
Victorian-style wall shelf, made of solid mahogany wood, dateable to the early decades of the 20th century. The design responds to the decorative aesthetic inherited from the late Victorian period, with turned elements, profiled moldings, and a symmetrical structure that combines functionality and ornament.
The piece features three levels: the two upper levels form open shelves supported by openwork side supports and turned columns, ideal for displaying porcelain, clocks, or small decorative objects. The lower level includes a compartment with a balustrade railing and a drawer with a bronze handle, designed for storing everyday items or correspondence.
The mahogany, with a deep tone and pronounced grain, adds elegance and solidity, while the polished finish enhances the material’s richness. This type of furniture was common in living rooms, foyers, or home offices, where both practicality and visual refinement were valued.
Because of its workmanship, proportions, and details, this bookcase can be considered a decorative piece of transition between Victorian historicism and the more sober tastes of the Edwardian period. Ideal for collectors or interiors seeking character and authenticity.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
