Description

A smart and beautifully made antique neoclassical style mahogany open bookcase. It was made in England, and dates from around the 1930’s.

The quality is superb, this has a lovely breakfront design and is a very useful size. The proportions are nice and slim, yet with plenty of storage space. There are four uprights at the front edges, with bronze Corinthian column style tops and bases. It is polished inside and sits on a plinth base.

We have had this recently re-polished, the condition is excellent for its age. The mahogany has a gorgeous colour tone and patina.

FAQs

Neoclassical furniture draws inspiration from the classical art and architecture of ancient Greece and Rome, prioritising symmetry, straight lines, architectural columns, and restrained ornamentation over excessive curves.

Cabinet makers typically utilised dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, and oak, frequently incorporating secondary woods like pine for internal structures and brass for mounts.

Authentic pieces exhibit period construction techniques, including hand-cut dovetails, traditional timber shrinkage, hand-applied finishes, and appropriate patination consistent with age and use.

Pair the rich timber tones with contemporary neutral wall colours, mix vertical book arrangements with decorative sculptural objects, and ensure adequate lighting to highlight the architectural grain.

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying microcrystalline wax sparingly to nourish the timber finish.
