Description from the seller

Elegant Neoclassical/Art Nouveau Open-Shelf Bookcase in Dark Wood with Oval Mirror and Carving

Lot Description:

Type: Four-shelf open bookcase, display cabinet

Style: Neoclassical / Art Nouveau, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century

Material: High-quality solid timber, dark-toned and hand-polished, showing a beautiful natural grain

Features and Details:

This refined open bookcase is a unique piece of cabinetmaking, combining functionality and aesthetics. It features a slender, elegant silhouette with four wide open shelves, supported by vertical stiles that terminate in finely carved feet. The base bears an elaborate carved frieze with floral and geometric motifs. The sides are decorated with subtle grooves. The distinguishing element of this piece is the curved, decorated cymatium at the top, which frames a delicate oval mirror with a faux bamboo stem. The mirror, while showing slight signs of time, adds a touch of light and refinement to the entire piece.

Condition:

The piece is in excellent overall condition for its age, retaining its original patina. It shows light wear commensurate with its age, which enhances its authenticity and historical charm. No structural defects or obvious restorations have been found. Please view the provided images carefully, including details of the carved feet, the grooves, and the supporting columns, for an accurate assessment of the item's condition.

Additional notes:

This splendid piece would suit 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 history and high-quality Italian craftsmanship.

This item has undergone a preliminary basic restoration treatment through cleaning and a double application of a specialized reviving oil for restorations.
