About the Item

substantial and finely carved open oak bookcase of late 19th-century date, executed in a Renaissance Revival manner. The piece is arranged in three vertical sections, each fitted with a series of adjustable shelves, offering both practical storage and balanced proportions. The structure is defined by boldly carved figural uprights dividing the bays. These supports take the form of caryatid and term figures—alternating male and female subjects in classical dress—carved in high relief with notable depth and detail. Each figure is integrated with scrolling acanthus ornament, reflecting confident craftsmanship and a strongly sculptural approach. The upper section is finished with a continuous gadrooned moulding, adding visual weight and rhythm, while the shelf fronts feature a repeating carved border. The plinth base incorporates further foliate decoration above a stepped support, providing a solid and well-resolved foundation.
