Description from the seller
Elegant Day Bookcase Neoclassical in Dark Wood with Oval Mirror and Carvings
Lot Description:
Type: Four-shelf day bookcase, display cabinet
Style: Neoclassical / Art Nouveau, dated to the late 19th and early 20th century.
Material: High-quality solid wood, dark-stained and hand-polished, showing a beautiful natural grain.
Features and Details:
This refined day bookcase is a unique piece of cabinetry, combining functionality and aesthetics. It presents a slender and elegant structure with four wide open shelves, supported by vertical stiles ending with finely carved feet.
The base features an elaborate carved frieze with floral and geometric motifs.
The sides are decorated with subtle grooves.
The distinctive element of this piece is the curved and decorated cymatium crown, which frames a delicate oval mirror with a bamboo-cluster stem look. The mirror, while showing slight signs of age, adds a touch of light and refinement to the entire piece.
Conditions:
The piece is in excellent overall condition for its age, preserving its original patina. It shows slight signs of wear commensurate with age, which enhance its authenticity and historical charm. No structural defects or visible restorations have been found. Please view the provided images carefully, including details of the carved feet, grooves, and supporting columns, for a precise assessment of the item's condition.
Additional notes:
This splendid piece is perfect for any setting, from a classic study to a modern living room, adding a touch of elegance and personality. It is a unique opportunity to acquire a piece of Italian history and high-quality craftsmanship.
This item has received a preliminary basic restoration treatment through cleaning and a double application of a special restorative oil.
