About the Item

This stately Victorian bookcase dates to around 1900 and is crafted from rich walnut with striking burled walnut accents and glass-paneled doors. The arched glazing and applied carvings lend a strong architectural presence, while the fine craftsmanship is evident in the hand-cut joinery and solid wood construction. With its warm finish and distinctive proportions, the piece would have originally graced a parlor, study, or private library in an upper-middle-class home at the turn of the century. The upper cabinet features two arched glass doors opening to reveal three adjustable shelves, perfect for displaying books, art objects, or curated collections. The carved side panels and molded cornice are enhanced by floral rosettes and subtle fluted detailing that add both formality and visual interest. Below, four small drawers offer discreet storage, each set with period brass knobs. The piece is in nice antique condition with wear consistent with age and use. There are minor scratches and signs of use throughout, as shown in the photos, but the overall structure is sound and presents beautifully. The back shows evidence of age but is original and intact. This is a handsome and practical antique, ready to serve as a focal point in a study, dining room, or living space. 63h x 45w x 18d shelf depth 9.5
