Crafted by master artisans from dense, old-growth French white oak, this handsome piece will work in any room of the home or office where a dash of Old World sophistication is needed! Intricately pierce-carved backsplash depicts a burgeoning flower basket and fully laden grapevines, with an anthropomorphized lion's head centered on an heraldic crest flanked by more fully laden grapevines. Two tiers of carved, tapered and fluted columns separate the shelf layers, with demilune gadrooning providing an edge above and below.
Magnificent!
Circa 1860s.
