French 19th Century Mahogany Louis XVI Style Bibliotheque

Offered by: Fireside Antiques

Description
Dimensions: 98 ½” H x 123 ¾” W x 19 ½” D

A sprawling, 19th century French bibliothèque, handcrafted of mahogany with four glass-front doors to display treasured books, trophies, and other collections in an office or library. Note there are two units here–mirror images of each other–designed as one complete installation. Louis XVI in style (with some Louis Philippe similarities) the clean, linear quality allows this timeless design to fit any number of traditional and transitional decorating tastes. Behind the pairs of locking doors framed by fluted pilasters are three interior shelves each (13 ½” deep) which are adjustable on sawtooth brackets to easily reconfigure as needed. Note that the panes do not exhibit the bubbles and waves to confirm they are original, so are likely 20th century replacements. Below the panes the mahogany panels showcase the beautiful grain patterns this exotic wood is prized for, underscoring the sense of luxury. This striking storage piece has been cleaned and polished with a French paste wax to bring out the rich grain pattern and historic patina, ready for your interior. Please view the detailed images. One key included.
