About the Item
A handsome pair of 19th-century open bookcases, crafted and designed with both elegance and practicality in mind. Each bookcase is surmounted by a solid rectangular top above an open interior fitted with adjustable shelving, allowing for flexible accommodation of books or decorative objects of varying heights.
The cases are framed by boldly carved vertical uprights, terminating in finely executed foliate corbels at both the upper and lower corners. These carved elements provide visual depth and architectural interest while remaining restrained and well-balanced within the overall design. The bookcases stand on solid plinth bases, lending stability and a grounded, confident presence.
The polished finish enhances the natural figuring of the timber, giving the pair a refined yet substantial character. The interiors retain a complementary tone, offering an attractive contrast to the exterior framing.
