This early 20th-century Italian Neoclassical style pine bookcase captivates with its tall, linear silhouette and exquisite carved details. The design features a molded cornice topped by dentil molding and an ovoid frieze, leading to two rounded arches accented with elongated Corinthian capitals that sit atop fluted pilasters. The upper section boasts open shelves, ideal for displaying books and decorative objects, while the lower section features two doors with molded panels, flanked by smaller Doric-style pilasters, reflecting the Classical order. The entire piece rests on a plinth with protruding accents, and the sides remain unadorned for a clean finish. With its elegant proportions, Classical lines, and natural patina, this circa 1900 Italian pine bookcase makes a striking focal point in any living room or study.
