The rectangular top is framed with a simple moulding, adding a touch of sophistication to the design. The bookcase features two height-adjustable shelves, providing versatile storage solutions for books, decorative items, or collectibles.
Fluted pilasters run down both sides of the bookcase, adorned with intricately hand-carved floral motifs at the top and midsection, reflecting the high level of craftsmanship associated with Victorian furniture. The sturdy plinth base ensures stability while maintaining the piece’s elegant proportions.
With its understated yet refined aesthetic, this antique bookcase is not only a functional storage piece but also a statement of classic Victorian style.
