Their scale creates a sense of grandeur and distinction, while the refined lines and open glazing lend a light, airy presence to the room.
Inspired by the romantic ideals of the Gothic Revival movement, the design reflects the vertical emphasis and tracery motifs drawn from medieval architecture. The carved lower panels are detailed with elongated Gothic patterns, thoughtfully composed to create rhythm and symmetry. Above, the tall glazed sections rise gracefully, reinforcing the upward movement so characteristic of the style.
Each cabinet is glazed at the front and along the sides, allowing light to illuminate displayed collections from multiple angles. Interior glass shelves are supported by metal brackets, offering clarity and strength while maintaining an open presentation within the oak framework.
The oak has been carefully stripped, revealing the natural grain and warmth of the wood. The softened finish enhances the architectural carving and highlights the craftsmanship, contributing to the pair’s refined grandeur and luminous presence.
Designed as companions, these bookcases bring romance, symmetry, and architectural elegance to a library, salon, or any interior that values height, light, and historic character.
Circa early 1900s.
Sold As A PAIR.
