They are glazed over 3 quarters of their height, with stained-glass-style wood panelling on the 2 sides. The central door is wider and slightly recessed. The lower sections are composed of solid panels, the middle one in light mahogany veneer with an open book pattern, and the other 2 with a diamond pattern.
These 3 doors are fitted with functional locks and their respective keys.
The interior of this Library is partitioned, and fitted with 6 small and 3 large shelves, mounted on racks. An arrangement that makes this piece of furniture ideally functional and modular.
This Bookcase is crowned with a discreet cornice in doucine and with offsets.
The same wood fillets are found on the crosspieces, frames, sides and legs.
The ensemble ends with a grooved plinth, resting on 7 sheathed feet.
This Bookcase, which can be completely disassembled as it is assembled by a simple screw system, skilfully combines finesse and great storage capacity.
