This extraordinary antique French Renaissance Revival bookcase is a testament to grandeur and craftsmanship. Constructed from solid walnut, this early 20th-century piece commands attention with its impressive proportions and ornate detailing. The crown boasts an intricately carved dentil molding and corner medallions, while the three glass doors feature framed beveled accents and are flanked by carved floral and foliate motifs. The base, with its paneled cabinets adorned with bold cartouches, adds to the overall visual impact.
Behind the glass doors, you’ll find adjustable shelves offering ample storage for books, collectibles, or decorative objects, making it both functional and visually stunning. The rich walnut grain exhibits a warm, luxurious patina that enhances the detailed carving work. This bookcase embodies the Renaissance Revival style’s celebration of classical design elements, reinterpreted for an era that valued opulence and sophistication.
Despite its grand proportions, this impressive piece was designed with practicality in mind, as it breaks down into multiple sections for ease of transport and placement. There is a small piece of molding broken off on the rear right side, though it is barely noticeable and does not detract from the overall grandeur of the piece. This bookcase remains in excellent condition with expected surface wear consistent with age and use, making it a standout addition to any library, study, or grand living space. 92h x 84w x 19d shelf depth 10 1/2
