Mahogany Glass-fronted Bookcase, Directoire Period – Early 19th Century

This majestic bookcase embodies all the nobility of the Directoire period, with its deep mahogany and finely carved ornamentation. The two glass doors, framed by pilasters, reveal a series of five adjustable shelves on racks, ready to hold your books or decorative objects. The finely crafted gilt-bronze mounts accentuate the elegant lines of the piece. This bookcase is also distinguished by its magnificent keyhole escutcheon: a sculpted decoration of delicate scrolls, where two angels tenderly embrace. This scene, both romantic and symbolic, evokes the union of beauty and knowledge. A true testament to exceptional craftsmanship, this bookcase will captivate you with its refinement, presence, and ideal dimensions.********Period: Early 19th century.
