Italian Baroque Revival Architectural Display Libreria

Italian Provençal-Style Architectural Libreria – Florence

A truly grand Italian libreria with the romance of Provence and the stature of a palazzo interior. Its sculpted broken pediment, Corinthian pilasters and softly aged cream finish give the impression of an architectural fragment – elegant, confident and beautifully storied.

Designed in the tradition of the great European library walls, this piece is more than a cabinet; it is a room-defining backdrop for living with books and objects. The generous central bay invites layered displays of volumes, ceramics and sculpture, while the refined corner cupboards offer discreet storage. It has the presence of a built-in library, yet the freedom of a freestanding piece.

Intentionally crafted without a back, the libreria allows your own wall to become part of the composition, adding depth and light and creating the coveted “installed” look of a French or Italian country house. Stone, plaster, colour or wallpaper can all be revealed behind your collection, giving a softer, more bespoke result than a traditional enclosed cabinet. A custom backing can be made to suit your interior if preferred (POA).

An exceptional statement libreria – perfect for those who dream of a grand European salon where books, art and everyday life meet with ease.
