The latter are composed of glass in the upper two thirds, and solid panels in the lower part. Each of these elements is underlined by a solid mahogany moulding forming a frame. A similar ornament acts as a central joint cover. The interior is lined with four solid shelves, 31 cm deep. They are made of Oak, except for their edges, which are in Mahogany with double half-rounds. They are placed on racks and therefore adjustable to suit the height of the storage space available. This space locks as the right-hand door is fitted with a brass lock with top and bottom hooks. The cabinet is supplied with a key.
This bookcase is topped with a Cornice with multiple mouldings.
Its front uprights are cut to size, up to the wide plinth on which it rests. In this one is hidden a large drawer of 10 cm deep.
The top, back and bottom of the cabinet are in Oak.
It should be noted that this piece of furniture can be completely dismantled, by a simple system of screws.
We will choose this Glazed Bookcase for its reasonable dimensions, its pretty drawings formed by the knots of its Mahogany or for the practicality of its assembly. You will also like this subtle blend of Sobriety and Character, which is due to the presence of pronounced mouldings.

Period: Late 19th century
