About the Item

Elegant 19th-century wall-mounted library crafted from solid mahogany and mahogany veneer, beautifully executed in the Neoclassical style. This high-quality piece consists of multiple sections, including a striking central module featuring curved, bow-front glass doors. The adjustable shelves allow for customization, making it ideal for displaying books or decorative objects. Fluted columns frame the glazed sections and are adorned with gilt bronze capitals and bases, reflecting the influence of Louis XVI and Empire styles. The lower panels are decorated with geometric mahogany veneers, adding a timeless touch of sophistication. The warm patina of the mahogany and the gilded accents highlight the exceptional craftsmanship of this piece. This rare example of a 19th-century wall library is both functional and decorative, making it a perfect addition to a private study, library, or reception room. Good condition for its age, with a well-preserved period patina. Minor wear consistent with age, which does not detract from the piece’s charm or functionality. France, 19th century.
