About the Item
An English faux-painted waterfall bookcase from the mid-19th century, with gilded accents and tapered legs. This English faux-painted waterfall bookcase from the mid-19th century exudes a charming blend of functionality and decorative flair. Crafted during the 1850s, it boasts four open shelves that gradually increase in size from top to bottom, each featuring a sophisticated faux wood finish. The elegant gilded accents along the edges and the thin cartouche outline on the top shelf enhance its visual appeal, adding a touch of refinement.
