Description from the seller
Victorian English Walnut Burl Bookcase
Important period English library piece from the Victorian era, dating between 1870 and 1880, crafted in fine walnut burl and perfectly preserved. The piece develops over two stacked sections, with the upper part featuring four glazed doors framed by elegant molded uprights and a classical, laterally molded cornice.
The doors display shaped frames with refined profiles and highlight the interior, divided by adjustable shelves, ideal for displaying books or collectible items. The quality of the walnut burl stands out across the entire surface, with dense, lively grain that adds depth and aesthetic value to the whole.
The lower section consists of four panel doors, also veneered in burl, concealing spacious storage compartments. Inside we find functional division with shelves, a large pull-out drawer with a recessed brass handle, and a lateral chest of drawers with turned handles in solid wood.
The imposing proportions, structural solidity, and the refinements of the woods make this bookcase a grand statement piece, perfect for professional studies, private libraries, or prestigious classical interiors.

For destinations considered difficult or not easily served, we reserve the right to apply an additional charge to shipping.
Any keys or accessories are not included, unless expressly stated otherwise in the photographs and product description.
The items are presented in good overall condition, consistent with their age. Natural signs of time and use attest to the authenticity of the pieces and do not compromise their beauty, form or structural integrity.
Please note that, being antique or vintage objects, there may be slight defects, signs of wear, or small imperfections due to their long history. Such characteristics are to be considered part of the charm and historical value of each piece.
Standard delivery does not include porterage or delivery to the elevator/upper floor. If you require this additional service, please communicate it promptly immediately after purchase; this option is not available for overseas shipments.
For a complete assessment of the item, we invite you to carefully examine the photographs, which are an integral part of the description. This will allow you to fully appreciate the authenticity and condition, avoiding any misunderstandings. *
