Antique Regence Bookcase or Display Cabinet

About the Item

Antique Regence bookcase or display cabinet is an excellent choice for those who need storage, display and style flair in a relatively compact case. Not quite seven feet tall, it will fit in areas with beams, furdowns, staircases, etc. The design features a rectilinear case accented by a demilune crown defined by bold molding and carved with shell and foliates in bas relief. The crown overlooks the three door glazed upper tier flanked by corners carved with motifs to complement the crown, and fitted with arched, glazed doors allowing one to view the interior. Stepped out from the upper tier lies the lower tier below, designed with three drawers and as many cabinets, all carved with iterations of the shell and foliate design, including the corners, and fitted with cast brass drawer pulls and key guards. The six doors and three drawers open to reveal amazingly capacious storage, while when closed the piece exudes a stately elegance that is not too formal, yet speaks to the quality and flair of a bygone era. Circa early 1900s Measures 83H x 61W x 20D.

  • 19th Century Grand Flemish Renaissance Bookcase ~ Display Cabinet
    Located in Dallas, TX
    19th Century Grand Flemish Renaissance Bookcase ~ Display Cabinet is a magnificent expression of the cabinetmaker's art! Designed to be an impressive statement, it soars over eight feet tall, and features amazingly detailed molding and embellishments from the crown to the base. Underneath the impressive crown molding above appears a tier of elaborate foliate scrollwork in deep full relief completely wrapping the facade, and punctuated on each corner and at the center with fierce lions' heads roaring their approval. Each lion's head appears over a lavish della robia carved pilaster with fruit and foliage depicted with incredible realism, providing a framework for the pair of glazed doors. A colonnade effect enhanced with wheat bordering surrounds the glazing, with the same motif used on the fronts of the shelves within for fine continuity. The tree shelves...
