the bookcase is made up of two modules which also have back panels which were sold as optional\. They were in fact additional elements that are rarely found today.
the bookcase can be assembled in different ways, with or without backs. In fact, if the latter are excluded, the metal support structures will be visible. You can also play with the position of the individual elements, deciding their placement according to your needs. Even the metal bookend elements can be moved at will. The different finishing color is curious, deliberately juxtaposed by alternating the different essences of the wood. In the dark finishes the sides are light, to create a trait d'union between the colours. A further metal support structure will be added to the packaging of the bookcase, identical to the others, which will allow it to be divided into two distinct units.
the bookcase has been fully refinished and polished, ready for display.
