Late 17th Century Antique Walnut Large Bookcase

About the Item

We present this majestic antique bookcase dating back to the Baroque period of the late 17th century. The bookcase is made of walnut wood and consists of three modules. It is an open bookcase so there are no closing doors where the shelves are, this allows for greater practicality in handling books. Characterized by typically baroque wavy lines that do not go overboard in exaggeration but are extremely elegant and refined. In the two modules on the sides, the lower part is equipped with two closed doors that allow for more private storage that is not visible. All three modules in the lower part are equipped with a practical drawer. Thanks to its size, it allows for a large space for use. The back is not visible in the photo because it was not mounted for practicality but is present. It is an imposing bookcase that captures the eye and can become the focal point for a professional study, a living room, a reading room. With its timeless historical charm, it will be admired by all your guests. The interior lining shows signs of wear but it is possible to remove it and we recommend leaving the wood visible or restoring with a new lining. The item will be shipped disassembled, assembly is not included in the delivery but we can provide assistance with an assembly video. We understand that this is an important and demanding bookcase in terms of delivery and assembly management but we are available to assist you in choosing the purchase and do not hesitate to write to us for further information. We can ship worldwide please contact us for an accurate shipping quote.
