A Pair of Louis XVI Style Mahogany Bookcases, C. 1920.
-
Description
A refined pair of Louis XVI style mahogany bookcases, circa 1920, each topped with a richly veined marble surface framed by a delicate pierced brass gallery over a single drawer and three shelves. Crafted with classic French neoclassical proportions, the bookcases feature clean lines, fluted stiles, and subtle molded detailing, showcasing the elegance and symmetry characteristic of the Louis XVI aesthetic.
The open shelving is ideal for books or decorative display, while the fine quality of the mahogany—with its deep, warm patina—adds a sense of quiet luxury. These versatile pieces work beautifully as a matched pair flanking a fireplace, in a library, or as refined storage in any formal setting. -
