AZ31 | Painted Bookcase

Early 19th-century Belgian bookcase with a woody, red painted finish. A traditional carved cornice crowns the uppermost section: a vitrine-style cabinet with two paned-glass doors, adjustable shelves, and black interior painting. Below, a sturdy plinth base is mounted on simple block feet, and contains two drawers beset with pairs of brass ring-pulls and two square, locking cabinets. With its exceptional patina, the piece would make great use as a cabinet, cupboard, bookcase or wardrobe.
