French 19th Century Charles X Period Rosewood And Maple Bookcase/Vitrine

About the Item

A handsome French 19th century Charles X period Rosewood and Maple bookcase/vitrine. The vitrine is raised on a mottled plinth below three square bottom glass doors displaying X designs with central rosettes and original lock surrounded by Greek key Maple inlays. Above the square doors are three secret drawers which can only open via a hidden interior lever. Above are three individual display cases showcasing tall glass panes and two adjustable interior shelves. The top crown showcases a dentil decorated band above an inlaid Maple wood Greek key design with a scrolled foliate branch. Wonderfully and uniquely proportioned as it is wide but narrow in depth.
