About the Item
Empire Walnut and Giltwood Open Bookcase, Austria, circa 1810–1830
This finely crafted Austrian Empire open bookcase, dating from around 1810–1830, is an exceptional example of early 19th-century neoclassical furniture. Made of rich walnut with elegant giltwood details, it embodies the refined taste and craftsmanship of the Empire period. The design features sculptural lyre-shaped sides, turned supports, and gilt paw feet, all of which reflect the grandeur and sophistication associated with this style.
At the time, owning such a piece was considered a luxury, as books themselves were rare and expensive possessions, symbols of education, wealth, and prestige. An open bookcase like this would have been displayed prominently in an aristocratic interior, emphasizing both refinement and status. Today, it survives as a rare and distinguished piece of furniture history, perfect for collectors and connoisseurs of Empire design.
