Bookcase - Walnut - Bookstore with display window 1820
Bookcase with display case dating back to the period 1820/1830, of neoclassical style. The furniture has never been restored; it remains in its original manufacturing condition without any alterations. The bookcase was entirely crafted in wood (probably walnut) by skilled artisans in the early 1800s and is still in good condition considering its age of about 200 years. The only damages caused by time are a crack on the back panel (also visible from the front on the right side of the white section) and slight deterioration in some areas of the support material for the right glass. Both damages are clearly visible in the photos. All keys are available and functional.
The producer is unknown, probably a small furniture maker active in the Genoa area in the early 1800s. The height of the base is 85 cm, while the depth of the upper part (thinner than the base) is 26 cm.
Available for pickup in Genoa, Voltri neighborhood, on the second floor without an elevator of a building easily accessible all the way to your doorstep by vehicle (better a van). It is recommended to protect the furniture with bubble wrap, foam rubber, polystyrene, or an old blanket during transport (especially the mirror). Unfortunately, I cannot provide assistance with moving the furniture; due to the fragility of the piece, disassembly is discouraged, and it is recommended to transfer it with at least three people with good physical strength.
