Antique Fitted French Tack Cabinet Original Finish Possible Bookcase late 1800's

About the Item

Antique Fitted French Tack Cabinet from a vineyard in the South of France near the town of Bezier, circa 1880-1900. The sliding doors still have their handmade French wavy glass, and we have gone through an exhaustive sympathetic restoration, while being careful not to disturb the original patination. In over 50 years of antiquing, I have never seen a Cabinet this interesting, let alone a tack Cabinet, with its steel hooks and horse gear still inside. No problem installing shelves from old French reclaimed wood to match, should you desire a Bookcase, or the ultimate Display Cabinet? Doesn't get much better than this.

  • French Ebonized Walnut Bookcase of Grand Proportions Restored Original Glass
    Located in Chicago, IL
    The best word I can think of to describe our newest find is; Presence. This absolutely incredibly elegant Très grande bibliotheque from Nîmes, France, simply makes the room, with its undeniable presence. Whether it’s the mammoth scale of the bookcase, or the combination of the ebonized walnut and the indescribable painted interior colour (we’re still searching for a name), something just clicked and made our antique bookcase quite special. Finding a genuine antique French bookcase, that measures roughly twelve and a half feet in length, that was not assembled from a bunch of old wood bits sitting around a guy’s workshop, is a rare occurrence. In our over 30-years of importing from Europe, we might have had two or three that were genuine. This huge antique French bookcase was fabricated from French solid walnut and certainly dates from the 1800’s. Look carefully at the wavy hand-made glass and that pretty much tells the whole story, for we are unaware that anyone produces new glass this good. Generally, when you find a bookcase, or display cabinet of this stature, you’ll discover that its history was probably from a public institution, be it a school, library, or even a high-end department store, but generally they are deathly tired. Fortunately, that was not the case with this antique French bookcase. Our antique bibliotheque was discovered in the town of Nîmes, a city in the Occitanie region of southern France. Little history; Nîmes was an important part of the Roman Empire and the city is most famous for the Arena of Nîmes, a double-tiered circa-70 A.D. amphitheater still in use today. Also, the famous Pont du Gard...
