About the Item

A majestic 19th century French Bibliothèque, of very tall and slender proportions. Demonstrating a pair of glazed upper doors, retaining their original glass above a pair of panelled doors. Featuring well-executed Faux Bois in the form of rosewood. Faux Bois was a popular technique used in 19th century France and England, as exotic wood species such as rosewood and mahogany, were difficult to import and could often be quite costly. A magnificent bookcase of very tall and slender proportions that would grace any interior well.
