This stunning pair of French Louis XVI–style pier cabinets (also known as bibliothèques d’applique) offers elegant vertical storage with all the classical refinement the period is known for. Crafted from warm mahogany, each cabinet features fluted corner details, tapered legs with brass sabots, and a richly veined white marble top crowned with a pierced brass gallery — a hallmark of elevated French cabinetry.

 

Inside, each piece includes removable and adjustable shelves, allowing the interior to be customized for books, objets d’art, or folded linens. The slim, architectural profile makes them ideal for flanking fireplaces, entryways, or hallways — the places where French pier cabinets historically lived.

 

A rare matched pair, they bring symmetry, elegance, and a quiet sophistication to any room.

 

 

Condition Notes:

These antiques remain in beautiful condition with expected character from their age:

• Shelves are fully removable & adjustable, offering versatile storage
• Slight sun discoloration on the interior wood where books once sat for decades — a beautiful bit of history preserved in their patina
• One surface scratch on the right side panel of one cabinet
• Marble tops are perfect, no chips or cracks
• Brass gallery edge and brass-banded trim intact on both cabinets
• General light wear consistent with age

 

All features are photographed for transparency.
