7.5Ft Tall Mahogany Carved Bookcase Bookshelf

The cabinet has four shelves and though one of them has a wood separation it is strong and useful as it is. Its doors are paneled and they are richly decorated with foliage and pear carvings over a beveled raised surface, and they also have attractive oval brass handles. Inside they’re missing small wood trims but they’re not distracting at all. This bookshelf has paneled sides and it is decorated with foliage and fluted accents. It may have some age appropriate wood imperfections but they really just add character and patina to the piece, otherwise it is overall in good cosmetic and structural condition considering its age, circa 1890! It is very strong and sturdy. This is a gorgeous piece of furniture that will not only enrich your home décor with its presence but will also become a treasured heirloom in your family!

What is patina? If an object is described as having a fine patina it's usually meant as a compliment. If something is said to lack patina, it usually means the object lacks character. Patina is everything that happens to an object over the course of time. The nick in the leg of a table, a scratch on a table top, the loss of moisture in the paint, the crackling of a finish or a glaze in ceramics, the gentle wear patterns on the edge of a plate. All these things add up to create a softer look, subtle color changes, a unique character that has value. Patina is built from all the effects, natural and man-made, that create a true antique.

Sold in As-Is Condition: Please keep in mind that this piece is an antique or later period piece and is sold in 'as-is' condition. Buyers of antiques know that the character of old furniture is often exhibited in the unique way it shows its age. We try to fully describe each piece in an attempt to let you know exactly what you will be receiving. To further clarify each item, we include detailed and close-up photos that frequently exaggerate wear and tear in a way that is not representative of how the item will appear under typical casual observation in your home or office. Close-up photos often cause the finish color to appear lighter or surface imperfections to appear larger or more severe than when the item is viewed directly. The primary image is most often the best representation of color and overall appearance. We carefully select each item for quality and value with our customer in mind. If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to email us. Any minor or major wear that has been mentioned has already been taken into account and factored into the price. Buy with confidence at our extremely low starting price.
