Important Library, Napoleon III Period – Mid-19th Century

Large and elegant Napoleon III library in blackened pear tree richly ornamented, opening with three doors and equipped with five shelves. This piece of furniture is composed of a central projection door on the front and two narrower side doors. These doors have a window surrounded by a chiseled scalloped bronze rod which benefits from angles with Greek corners. In the lower part, they are equipped with a panel with floral motifs inlaid in chiseled brass representing volutes and foliage with delicate curves. The panels are also surrounded by a sculpted bronze rod and several brass threads. In the upper and lateral part of the central door, two large bronze sculptures representing a woman's face surrounded by scrolls decorate this library. The locks are original and in perfect working order. Inside this Napoleon III furniture we find five oak shelves with blackened pear front decorated with two brass nets. On the sides of this bookcase, uprights in a quarter circle benefit in the upper part from large bronze falls representing scrolls and Louis XVI knots. Below, four grooves are embellished with brass asparagus. At the top, a pediment decorated with brass inlays with arabesque motifs is surmounted by a cornice made up of moldings and shaped bronze elements. The base consists of a wide plinth with projecting angles, inlaid with brass nets, also surmounted by a bronze rod on a projecting field. The set rests on four top legs at the front and two at the back, with scalloped bronze collar. Graceful and refined, this large 19th century library will delight you with the finesse of its ornamentation and its unique dimensions.
