French Book Shelf

France, 19th Century

$995

Vintage One-Of-A-Kind Wood

Bread, books, or both- this shelf was made to hold the essentials of daily life. Found in Avignon and traced back to a family home in Mouriès, this early 20th century French bookshelf has three wide tiers and turned spindle posts that give it a stately but approachable presence. Once used for stacks of novels and ledgers, Sylvie sees it now as the perfect kitchen staple for bread, produce, and jars of jam, or even as a display stage for a collection of ceramics.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Notes from Sylvie:

This beauty is mostly sanded down, with patches of previous finish visible. This antique piece wears its history beautifully. As with many antiques, this piece may show gentle repairs, cracks, scratches, holes, years worth of patina, and stains - just the way we like it.
