Description

Fabulous and rather unusual large French 19th century two door fully adjustable bookcase in well figured mahogany and in the Louis Philippe style, circa 1860.

Book matched veneers to the door panels and sides, also the doors retaining their original and very slightly mottled glass.

The interior is fully lined in oak with a panelled back and the four original inlaid shelves are fully adjustable too…so offers tremendous storage and display, but the bottom third can be hidden out of sight.

This is a large piece of furniture, but doesn’t feel overbearing not being too deep. The bookcase fully dismantles for transport etc.

Wonderful piece of furniture and a rare find.

90 1/2 inches or 230 cm high
