Old shelving unit or large bookcase from 1900 in very nicely patinated pine.

We love its XL size, with its many storage compartments, its moulded cornices, its plinths, and the old paint in places outlining the compartments, which gives the whole piece tremendous elegance.

The back is panelled.

The unit has deliberately kept its old patina, which is clearly what gives it all its charm: the black borders framing each compartment, the faux bois paint flaking nicely in places, with its very elegant colour.

The piece has been fully washed down, then protected with a clear matt varnish.

Flaws consistent with its great age are present: defects in the paint, small losses in the wood in places.
