About the Item

This rare circular French Louis XV style bronze mounted bookcase is a stunning example of 19th-century craftsmanship, designed to bring elegance and sophistication to any interior. Featuring a unique circular form, this bookcase is far more unusual than the typical rectangular library pieces, making it a statement addition for collectors and designers alike. Fashioned from fine walnut with beautiful veneer work, the piece is richly adorned with gilt bronze mounts, including delicate floral garlands, scrolling acanthus, and classical motifs that highlight its graceful lines. The bookcase offers curved interior shelving behind a glass front, perfect for displaying fine books, collectibles, or decorative objets d’art. On either side, tiered open shelves provide additional storage or display space, enhancing both form and function. Raised on elegant cabriole legs with gilt bronze sabots, the piece reflects the flowing curves and refinement associated with Louis XV style furniture. This versatile French bronze mounted bookcase works seamlessly in antique, Hollywood Regency, and mid-century modern interiors, offering both historical charm and timeless sophistication. Rare in form and finely executed, it is the perfect blend of utility and artistry, ideal for libraries, salons, or luxury living spaces. Dimensions: 34.5 high x 29 inches wide x 21.5 inches deep
