Antique Folk Art Bookcase, France, 19th Century

About the Item

This 19th-century folk art shelving unit is a beautifully primitive, handcrafted piece featuring scalloped trim along one side and three spacious tiers. Made from solid wood with visible tool marks, irregularities, and a rich, aged patina, it speaks to the authenticity of rural craftsmanship. With no defined front or back, the asymmetrical design allows for versatile display - whether highlighting the decorative scalloped side or the more utilitarian plain side. Its slightly canted form and hand-carved feet further enhance its charm.
