The Theodore Alexander 'Althorp Collection' Niche Bookcases you've … more Flame Mahogany Bookcase / Showcase Cabinets, Theodore Alexander 'Althorp Collection, Rare proportions
The Theodore Alexander 'Althorp Collection' Niche Bookcases you've chosen are a beautiful example of furniture in the Sheraton taste, crafted with high-quality materials and intricate detailing. Here's a breakdown of the key features:
Flame Mahogany Veneer: The use of flame mahogany veneer suggests a focus on high-end craftsmanship and rich, visually striking woodwork. Flame mahogany is prized for its distinctive grain patterns, giving the piece an elegant and refined appearance.
Sheraton Style: Named after the English furniture designer Thomas Sheraton, this style is characterized by clean lines, elegant proportions, and a preference for restrained decoration. The bookcase combines classical elements with a slightly more neoclassical aesthetic.
Molded Cornice with Icicle Frieze: The cornice (the top molding) adds a classical architectural feel to the design. The icicle frieze refers to a decorative pattern resembling hanging icicles, which gives a subtle but luxurious detail to the upper part of the bookcase.
Glazed Doors with Oval Astragals: The oval astragals (the wooden bars within the glass) are a notable feature, offering both visual elegance and structural integrity. The glazed doors allow for display while protecting the contents of the bookcase.
Velvet-Lined Interior with Glass Shelves: Velvet lining in the interior adds a touch of luxury and provides a soft backdrop for displaying items, while the glass shelves offer versatility for arranging books, collectibles, or other items.
Frieze Drawer Above Patera-Inlaid Doors: The frieze drawer likely provides additional storage space, while the patera inlay is a classic design motif, often used to embellish doors and panels with circular or radiating patterns.
Splayed Bracket Feet: The splayed bracket feet give the piece a sense of lightness and elegance, typical of the Sheraton style, while providing stability.
Lighted Interior: The addition of lighting enhances the display aspect of the bookcase, allowing it to highlight its contents and create an atmosphere of sophistication.
This bookcase would make a striking statement piece in a traditional or neoclassical-themed interior, offering both functional storage and a visually captivating design.
Both maintaining their original Althorp tags.
