Antique French Renaissance Open Bookcase in Stripped Oak

About the Item

Antique French Renaissance Open Bookcase in Stripped Oak is the perfect choice for a compact, shallow bookshelf that takes up a minimal amount of floor space yet is capable of holding dozens of books for your instant access! Hand-crafted from solid old-growth oak are the intriguing side supports that date to the mid-19th century, carved by a master artisan in stylized naturalistic form using shell and foliage as models. At some point early last century they were combined into the framework you see here, with a contoured and beveled top and four shelves added for a total of five surfaces including the top, with its beautifully scrolled edging. Meticulously hand-crafted to repurpose the carvings, it is an ideal piece for cozy offices, hallways, or anywhere one needs display space or book storage. The stripped oak finish is the perfect accompaniment to your casual decor, while simultaneously glorifying the sheer natural beauty and patina of the wood. Circa 1860s Measures 51H x 46W x 14.5D Available for pickup in the Dallas Design District, Dallas, TX.
