Monumental 19th Century French Oak Bibliotheque-Vitrine “Rocaille”
Located in Dallas, TX
This incredibly unique French bibliotheque is made from carved Oak and dates to the 1800s. Measuring exactly 9 1/2 feet tall and 92 inches wide and boasting some intricately carved woodwork, this piece makes a strong visual impact. We have it displayed as a bookshelf or bibliotheque, but it can also function as a vitrine, or glass enclosed display cabinet. One of the unique aspects of this piece is the contrast between its strict rectilinear lines and the ornate Rococo doors and carved overdoor area. Above the center of the doors is a large curled leaf in the shape of a shell. This element is surrounded on each side by an S-scroll shaped leaf and a festoon of foliage. An arch-shaped transom envelops the entire large cartouche, which is in turn flanked by triangular panels inset with foliate carvings. Moving down below the central foliate shell, we begin to see the shaped foliate carvings which correspond to the movement of the top of each door. The thick upper moldings of each door are composed of opposite scrolls, asymmetrical in size and design, but symmetrical in form. From the top of each door, and centering the top of each glass panel, emanates large Rocaille carvings. The lower section of each door has a fan-shaped curled acanthus leaf carving, embellished with a shell and acanthus finials. Behind the glass sits five adjustable shelves lined with ochre yellow fabric. The rectangular-paneled sides meet the highly carved front in the form of rounded columns with fluting. There is a rectangular panel of foliage that bisects the column near the stepped crown. The removeable doors sit on iron hinges and have brass Rocaille (curled leaf with small pebbles) lock plates. Each door opens and closes via simple antique lock and key...

Vintage, New and Antique Bookcases

As long as curious people have collected stories, we have needed a place to stow them away and preserve them. When auction houses and book dealers proliferated by the late 17th century, the bibliophile was born. And, of course, as with any treasured objects, a book lover’s volumes were suddenly worthy of a luxurious display — enter the bookcase. Americans of means during the 19th century took to amassing art as well as rare books, and antique bookcases of the era, rife with hand-carved decorative accents and architectural motifs, were ideal for displaying their handsome leather-bound wares.

Although our favorite titles may change over the years, the functionality and beauty of their home within our home is timeless. Whether you proudly shelve your books in regal mahogany or behind glass cabinet doors, a bookcase — or perhaps more than one — is essential to creating a cozy nook for any book lover. Even those who don’t covet the perfect home library can benefit from an attractive display case, as bookcases can easily double as charming étagères

Contemporary and customizable options make it easier for you to find the perfect bookcase for your style and stacks. If you don’t wish to fill your storage piece so that your collection is snug within its confines, incorporate extra space to allow for additional displays and decorative objects. And by introducing a striking dark wood Art Deco bookcase or low-profile mid-century modern design by Paul McCobb into your living room, your signed first editions won’t be the only items making a statement. 

Find your dream bookcase on 1stDibs now.
