A PAIR OF 19th CENTURY GONCALO ALVES AND ORMOLU BOOKCASES
england , circa 1840
A very fine pair of early 19th century gonçalo alves and ormolu mounted open bookcases. Each with a marble top above a frieze centred by neoclassical ormolu mounts, the adjustable open bookshelves flanked by pilasters mounted with extremely finely chased ormolu corbels. Each shelf has a bead and reel moulding in ormolu and the plinth base has a crisp running acanthus moulding.
These bookcases retain their original ormolu mounts and the interior of each bookcase is simulated to match the graining of the gonçalo alves veneers.
