Exceptional, richly painted farmhouse bookcase from the period around 1800–1820, a true character piece with a powerful presence and rare original material. The colorful painted facade features warm earth tones, ochre, and reds with graphic ornaments and floral motifs, expertly crafted and wonderfully balanced, with visible patina and genuine signs of age that lend the bookcase depth and authenticity. The body impresses with its clear, almost archaic form; the painted architecture is harmoniously framed by the profiled crown and the sturdy base. Inside, the bookcase is made of solid softwood, with its original layout, shelves, and beautiful, dark aging. It is dry, stable, and perfectly usable. The bookcase is in a clean and very good condition! It is precisely this combination of decorative exterior and honest interior structure that makes it so desirable. Ideal as a striking standalone piece in a living or dining area, equally impressive as a statement piece in modern interiors, or as high-quality storage with a story to tell. Care instructions: Dust only with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid direct sunlight to protect the original paintwork. For further insights, we recommend literature on Alpine furniture and decorative painting of the early 19th century. This is a unique piece/a dream item that you should treat yourself to. See less
