Large Bookcase In Stripped Oak – Louis XV Period, 18th Century

A magnificent solid oak bookcase from the Louis XV period, dating from the 18th century, featuring an elegant stripped finish that highlights the wood’s natural grain and authenticity.

It opens with two large glass doors featuring scrolled crossbars, offering a beautiful view of the interior shelves, ideal for displaying books, earthenware, or collectibles. The glass panels are framed by ornate moldings typical of the Louis XV style.

The front is punctuated by a design of molded and carved panels, while the overhanging cornice emphasizes the piece’s overall elegance. The lower section features one large front drawer, resting on a finely carved crossbar and curved legs.

The wrought-iron hardware—long, openwork keyholes and pull handles—harmonizes with the regional character of this piece.

The interior, painted in a gray-blue tone, creates a refined contrast with the light hue of the oak and beautifully highlights the objects on display.
