Details

This Antique piece, is a commanding 70-inch bookcase that exemplifies the architectural elegance of the Colonial era. Handcrafted from solid, old-growth teakwood, this piece is defined by its vertical presence and sophisticated detailing. The crown features a meticulously hand-carved frieze with a geometric diamond-and-rosette motif, providing a decorative flourish that balances the cabinet’s clean, sturdy lines. The two full-length doors house ten individual glass panes (five per door), creating a traditional grid that offers a clear, protected view of your collection. Its exceptionally slender 11-inch depth makes it a premier “problem-solver” for narrow libraries, hallways, or executive home offices. The wood is finished in a warm, nut-brown patina that highlights the dense, swirling grain of the vintage timber. As an authentic antique, the vitrine carries the soulful hallmarks of its history. The teak exhibits a beautiful matte patina, historical joinery marks, and original dark iron hardware, including vertical handles and traditional latches. The scalloped lower apron further anchors the piece in the Indo-Portuguese design tradition. *Era: Mid-20th Century *Size: 46"(L) x 11"(D) x 70"(H) *Material: Solid Teakwood / Glass *Features: Ten-pane glass doors; internal fixed shelving; hand-carved diamond crown; original hardware. *Origin: India (South India) · Sourced in British Colonial India *Condition: Excellent Vintage Condition.
