Description

This rare Danish bookcase, carved in mahogany and dating to circa 1840, is a handsome two-part piece in the Baroque style. Applied carving adorns the corners and keyhole, with a hidden drawer beneath the cornice, while glazed doors above open to adjustable shelving. The lower section features a flame mahogany top with decorative swags and carved feet. Showing age shrinkage to the sides, minor losses and restoration, it retains abundant character.
