About the Item
18th Century French Country Louis XIV Open Whitewashed Bookcase ~ Bibliotheque is a stunning example of the rural artisans mastery of cabinetmaking! Crafted from dense, old-growth oak using time-honored traditional methods like pegged mortise
tenon joinery, it was constructed to literally last for centuries. The bold multi-tiered crown presides over a lavishly scrolled bonnet centered with a carved crown motif, which in turn presides over the opening that provides a framework for three spacious surfaces including two fully adjustable shelves. The bottom "shelf" is in reality a trunk lid that opens to reveal storage behind the substantial apron below distinguished by three intricately carved raised
recessed panels separated by rosettes. The architecture is otherwise rectilinear, including the sides enhanced by raised panels, two of which are scrolled for a magnificent presence no matter the angle of view. An extraordinary choice for the true connoisseur!
