Scriban - Port Library In Solid Walnut Two Bodies - Eighteenth

Lovely Scriban Furniture / Showcase in solid Walnut, composed of Two Bodies, and which we will choose to describe in three stages. The upper part consists of a library, opening with two large glass doors. They are adorned with Moldings forming four frames and designed with Breakout, in other words shaped by the size of the wood in its thickness. They discover three 21 cm wide shelves, on racks and therefore adjustable as desired over a total storage height of 136 cm. This first body is surmounted by a high elaborate crosspiece, itself crowned with a curved and cut-out Cornice. The second space is a Scriban with an inclined flap, the visible side with a Medallion presenting decorations identical to those described above. It reveals an astonishing multitude of small storage units: Niches, Drawers with curved lines, ten in number (and not twelve as one might imagine), or even Compartments concealed by their Amaranth facades sculpted in half turned columns. Of the same wood, a small concave door reveals a last locker. These first two spaces lock. They are equipped with cut-out iron keyholes and are supplied with their respective keys. The last element of this second Body is a chest of drawers opening with three drawers 11 cm deep and each equipped with two pull buttons. Note that they have been curved in both directions, which required considerable cabinetmaking work. Their interiors are in solid Cherry. The corners of this Dresser also have rounded lines and are embellished, like the low fretted crosspiece, with Sculptures. The sides of this complete piece of furniture are also embellished with moldings with significant reliefs. The back is made of a mixture of Cherry and Oak. The set, which can be dismantled into Two Bodies by a simple screw system, rests on four Snail feet perched on Talonnettes. We will appreciate the remarkable quality of this Regional Port Furniture, probably from La Rochelle (17). ************ Period: 18th century Perfect condition after restoration in our workshop.
