Description from the seller

Monumental walnut-finished wooden bookcase divided into two parts: the lower section measures 90 cm in height while the upper section is 188 cm. A distinctive central arch creates a deep niche, ideal for displaying works of art, with a base that is liftable and opens to the compartment behind the two central doors. It features beautiful vertical pilasters that separate the modules and decorative panels with diamond motifs on the lower and side doors. The central lower doors feature a diamond lattice perforation, a detail commonly found in sacristy furniture or in fine libraries of the 18th-19th century. The solid construction and geometric motifs recall the stylistic hallmarks of Tuscan or Central Italian furniture of that era."} }?Oops the JSON has extra braces. Need only the one object.

Seller's Story

I am an antiques dealer who has closed his shops (3) with a large remainder of pieces including paintings, porcelain, sculptures, furniture, etc. I am dispersing all these works at prices very often lower than my purchase prices. They are all guaranteed and original works of great quality and value. Furthermore, through my thirty years of contacts, I continue to buy and offer extraordinary works at unbeatable prices, but only online. robertoloriaantiques
