Vintage Bookshelf: A World in Leather and Linen

An intimate, softly lit vintage bookshelf filled with a diverse collection of old books neatly arranged by height and color on rich oak shelves. The spines showcase leather bindings, marbled paper, cloth bindings, and gilt lettering, with titles in Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, and Chinese scripts. Warm desk-lamp light highlights cracked leather, worn edges, and faded dust jackets, while dust motes drift in the golden glow. The shelf includes a few small stacks on the top, a tiny brass bookmark peeking from a page, and a small potted plant, all set in a cozy study with dark wood walls. Perspective is slightly to the side to reveal depth and the orderly alignment of spines. Mood is nostalgic, scholarly, and inviting, with earthy tones of chestnut, burgundy, forest green, and parchment, captured in a hyper-realistic, cinematic style with soft shadows and gentle bokeh.
