Very large shop/library buffet in oak – late 19th century, Napoléon III style. Imposing two-part library in solid oak, offering remarkable storage volume and a beautiful decorative presence. The upper part opens with four glazed doors, revealing vast shelves ideal for books, objects, or collections. The old glass features slight waviness, adding to the charm of the whole. The metal handles and locks, shaped like cutlery, highlight a sober and elegant aesthetic. The lower part consists of four solid doors opening onto generous storage spaces, with shelves and interior drawers. There are modular fittings, practical for daily use. The whole rests on a moulded base and features straight, balanced lines typical of the transition between the late 19th century and the early 20th century. Very beautiful warm patina of the oak, highlighting the wood grain. Dimensions: Height: 225 cm Width: 290 cm Depth: 70 cm Period: 19th century Condition: Generally good condition. Signs of use and wear over time visible (notably on the glass and some fittings), without affecting the solidity or proper functioning. A large-capacity piece of furniture, ideal for a library, a cabinet of curiosities, or a characterful interior.
