Mahogany bookcase in the Louis XVI style, trimmed with brass and topped with Carrara marble.
It opens in front of two glass doors with solid mahogany frames, mitered in the corners. In the lower part, each door is darkened by a panel in solid mahogany of about a third of its size.
The panels and the glass panes are underlined by brass strips forming mouldings with doucine. Between the doors, there is a brass half-round cover.
The two doors are locked by a "top and bottom" lock on the right door, accompanied by a brass entry with its key in working order.
After opening, we discover the interior, composed of three oak shelves with mahogany edges and adjustable on racks.
The sides of this bookcase have a half-column attached having three stopped flutes inlaid with brass.
The whole rests on four "toupie" feet adorned with a brass collar and ending with a clog foot.
The sides of this piece of furniture are composed of three identical panels surrounded by a brass rod and separated by thin crosspieces. The back legs are also trimmed with brass flutes.
The top of this bookcase is made of a lightly veined white Carrara marble, surrounded by an openwork brass gallery with overhangs.
This Louis XVI bookcase is unique by the constitution of its sides having three panels separated by crosspieces. The quality of its wood and its workmanship make it a rare piece of furniture, which seduces by its elegance and its pure lines.
