Description

Liberty bookcase, a rich succession of doors and open compartments with architectural designs: developed in a perfectly symmetrical way, the two lateral parts are made of glass doors, surmounted by an open space and another smaller glass door. In the central band there is a space on the lower part, surmounted by two small glass doors, a drawer and another space lowered with a pointed arch. The band under the frame has three compartments, on the top of the uprights there are two inserts in opal glass, nuanced from yellow to green, reprised on the sides to decorate the doors on the top. A glass door with a drawer and a space with a lowered pointed arch are on the sides as well. Sessile oak, decorated with refined symmetrical twists of ivy leaves, threaded with brass and inlaid with briar-wood. Interesting, on the front of the middle drawer, the writing "meminisse iuvabit" ("One day, we'll look back on this and smile"), from the Virgilian verse of the Aeneid and often used as a auspice that one day it will be pleasant to remember the current events.
