About the Item
This 19th century furniture piece is a charming Bibus, an open bookcase or étagère, with an elegant and understated design. Crafted from warm-toned walnut (noyer), it features refined details typical of the late 19th century. The structure is clean-lined, with fluted pilasters on the sides, leading to slender, tapering legs that end in brass caps, enhancing the overall sophistication of the piece.
The top is adorned with a gray marble slab, characterized by its veining and polished finish, which provides a luxurious and durable surface. The marble top, overhanging slightly, reflects the quality craftsmanship of the period and adds an element of grandeur to this otherwise simple design.
Inside, the Bibus offers two adjustable wooden shelves, making it highly functional for displaying books, small collectibles, or decorative items. The back panel, finished in matching walnut, emphasizes the rich tone and natural grain of the material, while its modest size ensures versatility, suitable for smaller spaces.
This walnut Bibus exemplifies the combination of functionality and timeless elegance typical of 19th-century French furniture, making it not only a practical choice but also a tasteful addition to both classic and contemporary interiors.
