The breakfront form provides pleasing architectural proportions while offering generous display and storage space across a series of fixed shelves.
Raised on shaped bracket feet and retaining a rich mahogany colour and attractive patina, the bookcase is supplied with a working key.
A practical and decorative antique bookcase, equally suited to displaying books, ceramics or collections in both traditional and contemporary interiors.
