This refined revolving bookcase is an iconic example of functional design and timeless style. Made of mahogany, it stands out for its solid structure and the quality of the artisanal details. The top features an elegant inlaid decoration in maple wood, with geometric motifs and a central medallion, which add a touch of class and uniqueness to the piece.

Equipped with open shelves on multiple levels and a small door added in the 70s, this bookcase is perfect for housing books, documents, or decorative objects, making the most of limited spaces thanks to its ability to rotate on itself.

Seller's Story

I have always been passionate about our past, knowing it is the only thing that does not cease the connection between what is and what was. When I reached the right age I understood that my passion had to coincide with my work and so I opened a business. The key principles are quality and love towards the customer. Francesco Secondo
