EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a magnificent piece of furniture known as the "Great bookcase, 1859-62". Crafted from pine and adorned with intricate carvings, vibrant paintwork, and delicate gilding, this bookcase is a true masterpiece of the decorative arts. Standing at an impressive height of 317.5 centimeters and measuring 173.9 centimeters in width and 49.5 centimeters in depth, it commands attention with its grandeur. Housed within the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, this stunning creation reflects the skilled craftsmanship of English artisans during the 19th century. Its ornate design transports viewers to a bygone era when opulence and elegance were highly valued. Notably, amidst its elaborate embellishments are depictions of fantastic creatures that add an element of enchantment to this already remarkable piece. These mythical animals capture our imagination and remind us of humanity's fascination with folklore throughout history. Beyond its function as a bookcase, this work can also be appreciated as a musical instrument stand due to its inclusion of spaces specifically designed for holding various instruments. This multifunctional aspect further highlights both its practicality and artistic value. Through this photograph captured by Ashmolean Museum Photo Studio, we are granted access to admire not only the beauty but also the historical significance embodied within this exceptional example of British decorative art from the late nineteenth century.
