Topped by a very discreet cornice, this set has two large glass doors in the upper part, darkened with thin molded strips, forming diamonds. These are fitted with an original working lock, inlaid brass entries and a key. The interior offers, on each side, four shelves with mahogany edges, adjustable every four centimetres, thanks to notches on the walls.
The lower part is made up of two massive doors, also fitted with a lock, entrances and a key. Their facades are embellished with small identical baguettes as a reminder. Open, there are two shelves on cleats.
This library is based on a molded and protruding base, ending with cut feet.
In addition to the quality of its essence and its storage capacity, we will also appreciate the finesse of this London work.
