Pair, 19th Century French Oak Bookcases Display Cabinet with Adjustable Shelves

About the Item

It is difficult to find a pair of bookcases, and the detailed carving found in these oak display cabinets is exceptional making this pair a special find. Notice the elaborate carving of flowers, faces, lions, flourishes and more that embellish the bookcases standing over 7' tall. In the detailed photos, note the "sawtooth" shelving which allows the shelf height to be easily adjusted. One case has shelves with decorative trim, and one does not. Buyer may also choose to place one shelf of each style in both cabinets. In photos of the pair, the case to the right has a functioning lock and key in upper cabinet and drawer. In the case to the left, only the drawer lock functions. All other doors use a key simply as a pull, with no functioning lock. These bookcases are built in 2 sections, making it easier to install the lower oak cabinet with two doors and the upper display cabinet with glass doors. Age related cracks and signs of wear/distress are expected in antiques that has been used for generations such as this pair. Restored, these oak bookcase are strong and stable, ready to be used and enjoyed. All nicks, scratches, separation of wood and signs of wear are commensurate with age and do not detract from the beauty nor function of this handsome pair.
