Elizabethan bookcase, made of walnut wood, with vertical structure and sober composition. The upper body has two glazed doors that allow the exhibition and protection of books or decorative objects, while the lower part is organized by two drawers and paneled doors, offering closed storage space.

The piece responds to the taste of 19th century bourgeois furniture, where functionality is combined with an elegant and restrained presence. The warmth of the wood, the brightness of the finish, the staggered upper moldings and the balanced proportion of its two bodies stand out, providing solidity and architectural character to the whole.
