Very old glazed bookcase, entirely in solid oak, from the Napoleon period, 19th century.

We love its XL size, with its two parts, upper and lower, and all the distinctive elements that make up the whole.

The cabinetmaking on this piece is of very high quality: the mouldings, the inset pieces, the details brought to the whole are simply incredible.

The sturdier lower part contrasts with the slimmer, more elegant top and its glazed doors.

The curves of the glass panes give a softer touch to the whole.

The wide cornice and the vertical moulded elements are all details that give this piece real quality and charm.

The lower part has two upper drawers with keys (the right-hand lock no longer seems to work), two hinged doors opening onto large storage spaces and a "hidden" bottom drawer. The wide plinth finishes it off.

The top, which fits perfectly onto the base with grooves, is shallower but taller. A cornice dresses the top (it can be removed for transport). Three shelves on adjustable pegs provide storage.

Two large glazed doors with their original bubble glass complete the piece.

This piece is very old, so of course it has a patina and possible flaws or marks in the wood. Please note a small loss of wood on the lower case at the back left, a small chip in the wood on the left door, and the upper cornice, which comes off the top, has cracked on the right side at the groove (very discreet once fitted). Please refer to the many photos.

This piece is very heavy, of course. However, it comes apart into several sections, which makes transport easier. It will be delivered dismantled (base, top, glazed doors, cornices and shelves).
