Grand 19th Century Dutch Renaissance Open Bookcase

Price: $6,980

Grand 19th Century Dutch Renaissance Open Bookcase will make an impressive statement in any room!  Soaring over nine feet in height, it is topped with a grandiose crown which includes multi-tiered crown molding with step-front corners that appear over the clockwise & counter-clockwise barley twist columns that serve as corner posts.  Underneath the crown molding is an intricately sculpted bonnet centered with a Romanesque urn and lavished with foliates, all carved in full relief.  Flanking the bonnet are two full relief carvings of noblemen, which appear above the aforementioned barley twist columns, in between which appear two extraordinary Corinthian capitals.  The overly generous bookshelf space provided contains four original adjustable shelves, each of which is reinforced to handle weight.  The fifth surface is the floor of the piece, bracketed by the columns' plinths carved with foliate motif, leading the eye down to the multi-tiered base molding and bun feet.  What a magnificent way to display one's books, collection or objets d'art!
