Italian Renaissance Style Carved Oak Triple Door Bookcase, 19th c., the top with a cupid carved frieze over three arched glazed doors within elaborately carved pilasters with relief hunting motifs, fruit, winged putti, figures and angels, on block feet, H.- 84 in., W.- 74 in., D.- 17 in.

Condition consistent with age and use. Slight variations to finish are observed throughout. Figure at top of right column is now lacking the rabbit held in the left hand – rabbit is present but unattached. Several ¼ inch losses to wood are observed to the carving at the top of the left column, and a separation to the carving is noted, with evidence of glue residue. Glass doors are seen with a clear white residue where glass meets the wood carving. A 3 inch by ½ inch loss is seen at the bottom right corner of the right door. One key is present, and locks work in two doors, but not the right door. Both side panels are seen with scuffs and scratches, and some flecks of white discoloration towards the bottom. Molding at the top of the right side panel has been repaired. An overall striking example.
