About the Item
This refined breakfront bookcase showcases the warmth and character of beautifully figured walnut, crafted into a timeless silhouette that suits both traditional and eclectic interiors. The piece features a central cupboard flanked by two glazed display cabinets, each fitted with classic astragal-glazed doors that open to reveal painted interiors with adjustable shelving — perfect for books, ceramics, or curated decorative objects.
The centre door conceals a spacious storage compartment with shaped shelves, ideal for serving pieces, documents, or items best kept out of sight. Both outer sections include discreet pull-out slide trays set above the doors, offering additional surface area for displaying small objects or assisting with serving.
Resting on shaped bracket feet and finished with subtle moulded detailing, this bookcase highlights thoughtful craftsmanship throughout.
