Description

Edwardian inlaid mahogany revolving bookcase

This Edwardian inlaid mahogany revolving bookcase was made and retailed by Maple & Co Tottenham Court Road London circa 1900.

Maple & co had large showrooms in London, Paris, and Buenos Aires. All 3 of these great cities were very affluent and so they had many wealthy clients vying to buy their top-quality pieces.

As they sold top of the range items where the quality was of the essence the revolving mechanism ran smoothly and were set on cast iron bases, this made them stable whereas the mass-produced examples would lean if the books stored were not placed evenly.

The top has a banding of satinwood inset around the edge and the central circular fan design at the centre.

The slatted sides to keep the books in place are secured by brass headed nails.

The bookcase revolves with a gentle push and allows you to select a book easily.

Maple & co revolving bookcases are wonderful items of furniture that are not only very attractive but also serve as useful pieces for displaying books.

Imagine this in your drawing room and the pleasure you will get from owning such a piece.

Edwardian furniture, produced during the reign of King Edward VII from 1901 to 1910, is characterised by lighter proportions, neoclassical influences, and refined inlay work, moving away from the heavy dark woods of the Victorian era.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid hardwoods like mahogany or walnut, featuring veneered surfaces with contrasting string inlay, and incorporated internal spider mechanisms of iron or brass to facilitate smooth rotation.

Authenticity is identified by traditional hand-cut dovetail joints, natural timber shrinkage, patination consistent with age, period-appropriate castors, and the quality of the mechanical swivel base.

Position it beside a low-profile sofa or within a reading nook to function as an accessible book repository and display surface, blending historical craftsmanship with contemporary living spaces.

Maintain timber condition by keeping the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and occasionally applying traditional beeswax to nourish the polished surface.
