19th Century French Grand Ebonized Bibliotheque in Provincial Style

About the Item

This French bibliotheque from the 19th century makes a dramatic statement for any interior with its height alone, and the ebonized finish on the exterior gives it the presence to anchor any kitchen, dining room, library, or office. Below an understated cornice, the soaring glass-front doors over the bookcase retain their original panes, providing visibility to regard the contents on four shelves, 15” deep. To contrast to the ebonized shelves, the panels on the back and sides are left their natural oak color allowing the warm glow of the wood to further illuminate the interior. The lower body–protruding slightly beyond the shelves like a “buffet a deux corps"–offers a pair of locking drawers and a paneled cabinet for (less visible) storage and organization, including a shelf, 21 ⅞” deep adjustable on sawtooth brackets. Cleaned, tightened and polished, this monumental storage piece is ready to astound in your interior. We believe this item to be in good antique condition considering its age, and any visible signs of wear are captured in the photos.
