19th c. Wall Bookcase - I

France, 19th Century

$595

Found in Avignon, this 19th-century wall bookcase is made from mahogany and would have originally hung in a French home where space was tight and every surface mattered. Pieces like this were often used in kitchens or small salons to keep everyday things within reach - books, jars, ceramics, or pantry goods lined neatly across the shelves. The turned spindle supports give it that unmistakably French rhythm, while the long, shallow shelves keep the profile light against the wall. Sylvie hangs it in a kitchen with stacked bowls, a few pottery jars, and whatever beautiful things deserve to be within arm’s reach. Exactly as pictured.

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

    This piece is quite wiggly, but when it hangs from the wall it becomes more secure. 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.
