Description from the seller
This central-drawer bookshelf, 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 20th century. Its rectilinear design, with vertical flutes on the sides and discreet moldings on the upper and lower trim, evokes French Neoclassical aesthetics, marked by symmetry, proportion, and restrained elegance.
The upper drawer, equipped with round bronze knobs, offers storage capacity with discretion, while the open shelves allow displaying or storing everyday objects. The lower shelf has a rear hole for the passage of cables or plugs, which suggests a practical adaptation for contemporary uses—as a stand for electronics or lamps—without losing its classical character.
The laminated mahogany, with its warm finish and visible grain, adds presence and nobility, making this shelf a versatile piece that naturally fits into classic, eclectic, or vintage-inspired interiors. Ideal for those who value functionality without renouncing style.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
