Bookcase dating back to the late 18th century
About the Item
Splendid bookcase dating from the late 18th or early 19th century, featuring a rich artistic style typical of church and convent furnishings. The cabinet shows special attention to the carved and gilded details that adorn the side pillars and the cabinet's selvage.
The detailed workmanship and gilding suggest a use in ecclesiastical settings, such as a pharmacy or convent library. The bookcase not only stands out for its aesthetic beauty, but also for its ergonomic functionality, being spacious and ideal for storing books and various objects.
The geographic location of the library seems to be related to the Italian regions of Tuscany and Umbria. A distinctive feature is the presence of original glass, which adds an authentic touch and confirms the antiquity of the furniture. In summary, this convent bookcase represents not only a piece of furniture, but also a historical and artistic record of a bygone era.
