Antique French Oak Bookcase with 2-Original Wavy Glass Doors, Unrestored
About the Item
Magnificent antique French white oak bookcase, with 2-doors, both retaining their original wavy glass. We located this antique French bookcase, china cabinet, or display cabinet in the town of Joigny, which is located in the north-central part of France. Joigny was founded by the Roman’s around 369AD and rests on the banks of the Yonne River. Our French bookcase or bibliotheque is not quite that old, but was probably made in the very late 1800’s and remains in an unrestored state. Our Old Plank workshop went through the antique French cabinet to make sure it was structurally sound and washed the bookcase thoroughly inside and out. The option remains to stain, wax or leave as is, the later being our choice.

- French Ebonized Walnut Bookcase of Grand Proportions Restored Original GlassLocated in Chicago, ILThe best word I can think of to describe our newest find is; Presence. This absolutely incredibly elegant Très grande bibliotheque from Nîmes, France, simply makes the room, with its undeniable presence. Whether it’s the mammoth scale of the bookcase, or the combination of the ebonized walnut and the indescribable painted interior colour (we’re still searching for a name), something just clicked and made our antique bookcase quite special. Finding a genuine antique French bookcase, that measures roughly twelve and a half feet in length, that was not assembled from a bunch of old wood bits sitting around a guy’s workshop, is a rare occurrence. In our over 30-years of importing from Europe, we might have had two or three that were genuine. This huge antique French bookcase was fabricated from French solid walnut and certainly dates from the 1800’s. Look carefully at the wavy hand-made glass and that pretty much tells the whole story, for we are unaware that anyone produces new glass this good. Generally, when you find a bookcase, or display cabinet of this stature, you’ll discover that its history was probably from a public institution, be it a school, library, or even a high-end department store, but generally they are deathly tired. Fortunately, that was not the case with this antique French bookcase. Our antique bibliotheque was discovered in the town of Nîmes, a city in the Occitanie region of southern France. Little history; Nîmes was an important part of the Roman Empire and the city is most famous for the Arena of Nîmes, a double-tiered circa-70 A.D. amphitheater still in use today. Also, the famous Pont du Gard...Category
