About the Item

A monumental French Louis-Philippe period (circa 1840) mahogany bibliotheque with integrated secretary desks–a rare example of sophisticated construction and luxurious materials. The divided upper vitrine, set back slightly from the base, is crowned by a paneled frieze accented with round carvings over each pair of glass-front doors which retain their original glass panes. These doors open by working locks and a shared key to reveal four adjustable shelves (11 ¼” deep) on sawtooth brackets in each cabinet, ideal for displaying books or treasured collections. The lower body, slightly deeper and robust, offers additional storage capabilities, including two wooden drawers mounted with turned wood knobs, opening to become a pair of secretary desks, complete with patinated green leather gold-tooled surfaces and multiple little drawers in glowing bird’s eye maple. Below each desk is a locking cabinet (using the same key as above), fitted with a fixed shelf, 15 ½” deep. Light patina enhances the natural beauty of the wood, while the paneled design adds a sense of timeless elegance. Thoughtful proportions, even in such a grand scale, strikes a balance of form and function for this bibliotheque to be the focal point in a living room, office, or library. Recently restored to bring back every historic feature, the bibliotheque is cleaned and polished with a French paste wax, ready for your interior. Please view the detailed images.
