Extremely rare and stylish, mid-1800s bookcase, by one of Holland's finest. In 2010 the The Hague Municipal Museum (Haags Gemeentemuseum) organized an exhibition by the name of 'Koninklijk Goedgekeurd' which roughly translates to 'Royalty Approved'.

Not in books, not on the web, not in a museum.

All hand-crafted in what in the rest of the world is better known as the Victorian era, in the Netherlands this style is known as Willem III...
