Description from the seller
Tuscan Library in Solid Chestnut
Important large Tuscan library, made of solid wood. The structure stands out for the elegance of the fluted columns with shaped capitals that frame the open upper section, consisting of wide compartments with internal shelves.
The front is divided into four main panels, separated by pilasters finely worked and edged in boxwood, which lend refinement and chromatic contrast to the whole architecture of the piece. The rich, modillioned upper molding completes the line of the body with balance and grandeur.
The lower base consists of panelled doors that open to reveal large storage compartments with internal shelves, ideal for filing. The turned bulbous feet, typical of the eighteenth century, provide solid support for the entire structure. The back shows the original construction in boards, testifying to the authenticity of the era.
A furniture piece with a strong presence and charm, perfect for representative rooms, professional studies, or historic homes.
