Louis XVI Style Bookcase In Solid Mahogany Of Fine Parisian Craftsmanship

Louis XVI-style solid mahogany bookcase of fine Parisian craftsmanship, opening with two side doors trimmed with original pleated fabric, revealing storage compartments. The central part, in an open niche, is fitted with two shelves.

The whole presents a sober and elegant line, enhanced by fine moldings and small ormolu ornaments (rosettes and palmette motif on the lower front). The slightly fluted uprights and tapered legs give this piece of furniture a neoclassical allure, in the spirit of the Louis XVI style revisited in the early 20th century.

Interior, presence of an original plaque stating "Industrielle Foncière - Fabrique de meubles - Paris, rue de Charonne", attesting to quality Parisian production.

Very good overall condition, with a warm, even patina to the wood. Fabrics in good used condition.
