18th Century Italian Neoclassical Painted Bookcase

Price: $8,900

Rare 18th Century Italian Neoclassical Painted Bookcase is a marvel of architecture inspired by the masters of ancient Greece and Rome!  The boldly molded crown transitions to dentil trim above the bonnet, which overlooks the elongated glazed doors of the upper tier, which are flanked by pilasters topped with acanthus plumes.  The entire interior of the upper tier has also been painted with a pastel hue for contrast, bringing your displayed items to life.  The framed, raised panels of the cabinet doors below with concave rounded corners are a motif that is mirrored on each side, both top and bottom.  Bold base molding completes the look.
