Description

A tall and very impressive antique Victorian mahogany bookcase. This was made in England, it dates from the 1860-1880 period.

It is a great size, with lots of storage space in the upper and lower compartments. The top section has three adjustable shelves, the lower section has a two door cabinet with a single shelf. It has rounded corners at the top and bottom, all the doors have arched tops and this sits on a plinth base.

The quality is excellent, this is a very practical and good looking item. There are locking keys for the upper and lower compartments, this comes apart in two sections for ease of transport. The top should be screwed to the bottom for safety, the screws are included.

We have had this re-polished, it is in lovely condition for its age, with a gorgeous colour tone and patina. There are just a few minor bumps and marks here and there under the polish, commensurate for age.

FAQs

Victorian furniture spans the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901) and is characterised by a revival of historicism, incorporating robust proportions, rich dark woods, and meticulous craftsmanship tailored for expanding middle-class homes.

Cabinetmakers primarily utilised solid timber and veneers of mahogany, walnut, and oak, frequently incorporating hand-blown glass panels for upper doors and brass hardware for structural stability and detailing.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery such as hand-cut dovetails in the drawers, uniform timber shrinkage, subtle signs of hand-planing, and original glass panes containing minor imperfections and air bubbles.

Pair the rich dark wood with neutral wall colours, contemporary metallic lighting, and curated arrangements of books with spines turned outward or colour-grouped to balance historical gravity with modern minimalism.

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels and keep the timber away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer lifting and wood cracking, applying traditional beeswax periodically to nourish the surface.
