19th Century French Henri II Neoclassical Corner Vitrine ~ Bookcase exudes a stately elegance that will preside over any room! Of unusual design, it is designed for the corner yet presents a fully rounded facade, creating a quarter of a pie shape when viewed from above. Boldly molded crown molding combined with a spindle rail accented with turned urn finials on the corners combine to preside over the upper glazed door, one continuous curved glass pane set in a steel frame, which makes it even moreso unusual. Two sconce style glass shelves inside with finely scrolled supports combine with the single full size pie-shaped glass shelf to create unusual yet wonderful display possibilities. Directly underneath, two drawers emerge like slices of the pie to create additional convenient storage, and the lower section boasts twin cabinet doors with finely molded frameworks which open to reveal a single adjustable full size shelf. The cabinet above is flanked by fluted pilasters, while the cabinet below is flanked by fluted columns with acanthus leaf capitals. A multi-tiered, finely styled base wraps around the entire exterior, supported by three large bun feet.
Circa 1870s
Measures 89H x 47W x 31D; 32D corner to face less
