About the Item

This distinguished pair of 19th-century English pine bookcases beautifully combines rustic craftsmanship with refined decorative elements. Each bookcase features intricately carved musical motifs crafted in olive wood, depicting elegant opposing violins that bring a touch of artistic sophistication to these functional pieces. The contrast between the warm, honeyed tones of the pine and the rich, subtle hues of the olive wood violins showcases the meticulous skill of the period’s artisans. Adding to their unique charm, the backboards are painted in a soft, light green, lending a gentle, vintage color that enhances the overall appeal of the bookcases. The painted panels create a serene backdrop that subtly offsets the warmth of the wood and enhances the bookcases' presence within any room. With a patina that speaks to their history, these bookcases are a stunning example of English 19th-century design, perfect for both book lovers and those with an appreciation for period craftsmanship. Measures: 86.375" h x 40.875" w x 14.875" d. Shelves measure: 13" d.
