Rich in history, this rare, one of a kind piece was custom made in Spain in the late 20th century. The elegant, sophisticated and luxurious example features antiqued beautifully aged faux patina finish. Sculptural in form, the top of the realistic rendering depicting two large, oversized books, lifting the tole decorated top of the highest book reveals a large open interior with generous storage, the lower book having an inset concealed drawer with book spine drawer front, offering additional discreet storage, realistic gilded pages, rustic cream and dark red cover. Mounted over an impressive richly sculpted hand forged gilt bronze ormolu stand, consisting of double stretcher joined turned support base. Signed and dated by the artist, Horacio Acuña, circa 1991.

Provenance:
Acquired from the impressive estate of prominent American businessman, billionaire and philanthropist, the late Lonnie Pilgrim.

Lonnie Alfred "Bo" Pilgrim (1928 –2017) was co-founder of Pilgrim's Pride, which at one time was one of the largest chicken producers in the United States. Pilgrim co-founded Pilgrim's Pride when he opened a feed store in 1946 in Pittsburg, Texas. In addition Mr. Pilgrim was principal shareholder in numerous business ventures including Pilgrim's Bank and NETEX Bancorporation. He and his late wife, Patty, became avid antique collectors and traveled the world to furnish their residences with the finest antiques. They acquired this piece in Spain in the early 1990s.

Versatile.
As warm and attractive as it is functional, the wonderful piece can be used many different ways, including as an end table, accent table, cocktail drinks table, coffee centre table, bedside nightstand, low chest, library stand or simply placed alone as a stunning decorative object, sure to add a touch of refined elegance, comfortable warmth and unpretentious sophistication to any space!
