About the Item

A striking testament to Italian craftsmanship, this late 19th-century painted wood bookcase embodies the elegance of centuries-old decorative traditions. Showcasing the renowned Italian faux-marble technique, its surfaces mimic the richness of natural stone with remarkable artistry. Delicate hand-painted motifs and gilded volutes pay homage to the grandeur of 18th-century Baroque furniture, adding depth and sophistication. The lower doors feature an exquisite medallion adorned with painted roses, evoking the refined romanticism of the Rococo era. Standing at an impressive 217 cm tall, with a width of 130 cm and a depth of 60 cm, this exceptional piece combines storage and display in an artful manner. A unique fusion of opulence and craftsmanship, it is a rare find for collectors and design aficionados.
