About the Item

19th Century Grand French Gothic Open Bookcase ~ Bibliotheque will make an impressive statement in any room! Hand-crafted from solid oak to last for generations, it features an open upper tier atop a lower section that boasts three linenfold panels on the cabinet doors, as well as three pull-out surfaces for convenience. Shelves above are all adjustable to accommodate your library, collections and family mementos. Above, a pair of arched openings flank the spire-point opening at the center, finished with a full relief acanthus fleur de lys. A gallery rail runs across the entire crown, also featuring an egg dart form with restrained fleurs de lys, framed by spire point finials on each corner. Brass key guards and knobs complete the look. Although it's just under nine feet tall and over six feet wide, it's only 15 inches deep making it amazingly traffic-friendly for your room!
