Dressed in a precious mahogany and oak veneer, it embodies the refined craftsmanship and taste for understated luxury characteristic of this era.
Its graceful allure is expressed through its two two-thirds glazed doors, offering a subtle glimpse of the literary treasures it contains.
These doors are delicately accented by light wood marquetry, featuring ribboned basket decorations, a typical Louis XVI style motif, a symbol of refinement and delicacy.
The bookcase's uprights are no exception: they reveal an exquisite finish, marked by two gilt bronze trims, adding a majestic touch to the piece.
This sophistication continues to its base, where two fluted spindle legs rest, testifying to the quest for harmony and balance characteristic of furniture of this period. Crowning this work of art, a sumptuous and refined purple brocatelle marble from the Jura completes the ensemble, giving the piece a timeless elegance.
This bookcase is not just a storage unit: it embodies an aesthetic and artisanal heritage, spanning the centuries with a distinction that continues to fascinate art and history lovers.
A piece that, in any interior, would undoubtedly become a masterpiece, combining prestige and elegance.
