Witness to an era when refinement and precision in woodworking dominated, this Edwardian mahogany bookcase embodies timeless sophistication.
Dating from the early 20th century, its elegance is enhanced by a delicate marquetry of lemon, ebony and rosewood fillets, subtly adorning the drawer fronts, the top of the lower body and the pediment.
The majestic, open top features two cathedral-rail glass doors, revealing a central space flanked by a mirror that amplifies the light and depth of the whole. Four adjustable, rack-mounted shelves provide modular storage for a variety of book collections or decorative objects.
At the bottom, the bookcase features two drawers with chased brass handles and plates, as well as a second storage compartment for optimized organization.
A wide shelf completes the space, ensuring harmony between aesthetics and functionality.
The whole unit rests on four small feet, giving the structure visual lightness and perfect stability.
A subtle blend of tradition and elegance, this bookcase illustrates the exquisite taste of Edwardian cabinetmakers.
With its delicate details and balanced design, it remains a masterpiece that spans generations without losing its charm.
