19th-century Venetian Carlo X Bookcase And Sideboard In Solid Walnut, With Louvered Doors

An important bookcase from the Veneto region, dating to the Charles X period in the early decades of the 19th century, crafted from solid walnut.The piece stands out for its elegant architectural design and the refined vertical fluting that characterizes the fronts, a decorative motif in the late Neoclassical style, already widespread in the Louis XVI period and reinterpreted here with the greater simplicity and solidity typical of the subsequent era. The upper section consists of two opening glass doors, which conceal interior shelves ideal for books or display items.The lower section, however, features an element of particular interest: the doors slide sideways like a roller shutter, retracting into the cabinet—a sophisticated and functional technical solution, less common than classic hinged doors. Two linear drawers separate the two sections, maintaining balance and proportion in the overall design.Dimensions: width 180 cm, depth 62 cm (lower section), 56 cm (upper section), height 230 cm. The cabinet is in good condition, with a patina of age and signs of use consistent with the period. For further information, photos, or technical details, please do not hesitate to contact us.
