Description from the seller

This central-drawer bookshelf, formed in laminated mahogany, is a sober and functional piece that faithfully follows the decorative standards of the Louis XVI style, reinterpreted in the second half of the twentieth century. Its rectilinear design, with vertical fluting on the sides and discreet moldings on the upper and lower trim, evokes the French Neoclassical aesthetic, marked by symmetry, proportion, and restrained elegance.

The upper drawer, fitted with round brass knobs, offers storage capacity discreetly, while the open shelves allow displaying or storing everyday objects. The lower shelf features a rear hole for cable or plug passage, suggesting a practical adaptation for contemporary uses — such as a stand for electronics or lamps — without losing its classic character.

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

Certified shipping and careful packaging.
