AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This central-drawer bookcase, made of laminated mahogany wood, is a sober and functional piece that faithfully follows the decorative canons of the Louis XVI style, reinterpreted in the second half of the twentieth century. Its rectilinear design, with vertical fluted columns on the sides and discreet moldings on the upper and lower edges, evokes the French neoclassical aesthetic, marked by symmetry, proportion, and restrained elegance.

The upper drawer, equipped with round brass knobs, offers storage capacity discreetly, while open shelves allow displaying or storing everyday objects. The lower shelf features a rear opening for the passage of cables or plugs, which suggests a practical adaptation for contemporary uses —such as a stand for electronic equipment or lamps— without losing its classic character.

Laminated mahogany, with its warm finish and visible grain, adds presence and nobility, making this shelf a versatile piece that blends naturally into classic, eclectic, or vintage-inspired interiors. Ideal for those who value functionality without sacrificing style.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
