Three-level luxury bookshelf in green marble with a bronze frame, dating to 1900–1910 and made in France, in good used condition with minor signs of age, dimensions 60 cm wide, 54 cm high, 15 cm deep, in antique Louis XVI style.
Description from the seller
It is a three-tier luxury bookcase that embodies that refined taste of the early 20th century, when decorative furniture sought to unite sculptural presence, noble materials, and a touch of silent theatricality. The green marble shelves, with their deep tone and natural veining, impart a sense of contained richness: that dark green, almost mineral, was highly valued in elegant interiors because it suggested stability, sophistication, and a direct link to classical tradition.
The gold framework, worked with ornamental columns and upper finials, introduces a decorative language that blends classicism and modernity. The columns, with their precise carving and vertical rhythm, evoke the domestic architecture of the period: objects meant to be seen, to dialogue with the light, and to elevate any ensemble placed upon them. The upper finials, small but expressive, function as accents that crown the piece and reinforce its character as a distinguished piece of furniture.
Each level of marble, perfectly polished, offers a wide and stable surface, ideal for books, porcelain, sculptures, or any object that deserves to be displayed with intention. The combination of green marble and gold is especially characteristic of early 20th-century luxury: a balance between stone-like solidity and the warm shine of metal, between the natural and the ornamental.
Taken together, it is a bookcase that conveys status, elegance, and craftsmanship, a piece that not only organizes but stages the space with a classical and timeless visual language.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
