An antique step-back bookcase crafted from walnut and decorative burl wood, dating to circa 1880. This piece of Victorian furniture presents a two-part construction, characteristic of the era. The upper section features a pair of arched, glazed doors, revealing a lined interior. Adjustable shelves are visible within the upper cabinet. Below, a pair of drawers with turned wooden pulls offers convenient storage, situated above two solid cabinet doors. These lower doors are adorned with prominent burl wood panels. The bookcase showcases classical architectural elements, including carved pilasters flanking the upper doors and a decorative cornice. The use of walnut and burl veneer highlights the natural beauty of the wood grain. This piece exemplifies the robust construction and decorative flair of late 19th-century cabinetry.
