Description

A beautiful and impressive antique Sheraton style inlaid mahogany open bookcase. This was made in England, it dates from around the 1930’s.

It is very well made and of superb quality. The mahogany has a lovely colour tone and patina, there is stunning satin wood inlay around the top and front edges. There are ten adjustable shelves offering lots of storage space. This is very tall and a good width, while also not very deep, so doesn’t jut out too far into the room.

We have had this recently re-polished, it is in excellent condition for its age. The cornice and base come off and the main section splits into two, so this breaks down into four pieces for ease of transport.

Width – 55 inches , 140 cm

Depth – 12 inches , 31 cm

Height – 87 inches , 221 cm

FAQs

The Sheraton style, prominent in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, is characterised by classical proportions, straight lines, symmetrical designs, and delicate contrasting wood inlays.

Period bookcases were typically constructed from dense hardwoods such as mahogany or oak, often featuring secondary woods like pine or oak for internal framing, complemented by fine boxwood or ebony stringing.

Authentic pieces exhibit traditional joinery techniques such as hand-cut dovetails, handmade timber fixings, natural ageing of the wood grain, and minor historical wear consistent with age.

Balancing the visual weight of a dark wood bookcase in a contemporary space can be achieved by curating a mix of vertically and horizontally stacked books, decorative objects, and breathing space on the shelves.

Antique mahogany should be kept away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting, and maintained using microfibre dusting and occasional applications of traditional beeswax.
