Description from the seller
Table mahogany bookend – 19th century – adjustable three-position tilt
Elegant solid mahogany table bookend dating from the 19th century, featuring refined pierced paneling with phytoform motifs in a classic taste. The compact, solid structure combines functionality and decorative value, making it not only a reading support but a true furnishing accessory for studies, libraries, and representative rooms.
The front panel, finely shaped and carved with openwork, is framed by a linear, rigorous frame that enhances the quality of the wood and the depth of the grain. The rear mechanism allows three different reading angles, conveniently adapting to large-format books, antique volumes, sheet music, or reference texts. When closed it has a slim thickness of only 3.5 cm, making it extremely compact and easy to place.
Dimensions: 45 cm wide by 30 cm high, with a closed-structure thickness of 3.5 cm. The harmonious proportion and the high level of craftsmanship highlight careful, top-tier manufacture.
The condition is good for its age, with natural signs of wear and slight abrasions consistent with the object’s age, which do not compromise its stability or functionality, but rather attest to its authenticity and history.
An ideal piece for collectors, antique enthusiasts, and anyone looking to enrich a space with an authentic 19th-century element.
Photos are an integral part of the description. Guaranteed careful packaging entrusted to industry professionals.
