19th Century French Bird's Eye Maple and Cherry Bookcase

About the Item

19th century bookcase from France made from bird's-eye maple and cherry. This piece is a real stunner! The entirety of the case is made from wonderful and tightly grained Birdseye maple for a show stopping view from every side. The case is accented with hand turned faux bamboo style moldings made from cherry. There are three moveable shelves inside the bookcase, all with complementary faux bamboo molded edges. At the base of the case, there is a single drawer which has applied faux bamboo molding as well, and is fairly hidden. This is one of the most gorgeous bookcases we have ever had the pleasure to offer for sale.
