Item Details

Georgian Dwarf Breakfront Open Bookcase


Later Painted — Distressed White Exterior & Distressed Blue Interior


 


Overview


A handsome Georgian dwarf breakfront open bookcase, later painted in a soft distressed white with a beautifully contrasting distressed blue interior. With three adjustable shelves to each section, it offers generous and flexible storage while keeping a refined, balanced silhouette. The breakfront form gives it architectural presence, and it stands confidently on classic bracket feet.


A wonderfully versatile piece — perfect for a sitting room, study, hallway, or dining space — combining Georgian proportions with a fresh, decorative finish.
