Carved 1880 Oak Library Bookcase, Spiral Columns & Wavy Glass
SOLD
Richly hand carved of solid oak about 1880, this grand library bookcase has marvelous spiral columns, plus high relief panels with "music" and "architecture" motifs.
Doors have old wavy glass on this furniture from the alpine area of southern Germany and eastern France, often called "Black Forest" design.
The original finish is remarkably well preserved with glowing patina. Waxed and polished, only an occasional wipe with a soft dry cloth is needed to maintain its warm deep luster.
Interior shelves adjust on wooden supports, the lower drawer has hand cut dovetail joints and a sculpted head as a pull. Deep moldings are hand carved with artistic detail. The double throw lock and key still work on this historic European antique.
This imposing bookcase can be disassembled for delivery. Dimensions are 44" wide, 20" deep and 7' 2 1/2" tall.
