Description:
This exquisite Dutch solid oak bookcase was hand-crafted in the Netherlands around 1880. Over the years, the oak has developed a lovely patina, which enriches the wood's distinct grain and lustrous complexion. This effect looks especially striking because of the variety of intricate carvings that, together with the piece's bold physical presence and elegant solid brass hardware, form an incredible appearance that is sure to make a bold impression in any setting. In addition to incomparable beauty and fine craftsmanship, this bookcase also features two drawers and a locking upper section with shelves that adjust by means of an alligator bracket system; the lower section contains a fixed shelf and the locker no longer functions properly. The bookcase has sustained only surface wear consistent with age, and structural integrity remains excellent. The top and bottom separate for shipping and easy movement, while the top screws into the base to hold firm. Such an effective combination of utility and exquisite beauty is rarely seen, even the antique world, so this piece is certainly remarkable. Don't miss your chance to make this Dutch oak bookcase a part of your home today!
