Victorian Mahogany Breakfront Open Bookcase

19th century
Description

Victorian Mahogany Triple Section Open Bookcase (c.1870)

Item Code: 1040A

A handsome and substantial Victorian mahogany open bookcase, dating to the mid-to-late 19th century, offering classic elegance and generous storage in equal measure.

Comprising three graduated sections, the bookcase features a breakfront design that lends architectural interest and presence. Each section houses fully adjustable shelves, supported by traditional wooden sliders, making it highly adaptable for books of varying heights or curated displays. The warm mahogany tones are enriched with a fine patina, showcasing the natural grain and age of the timber.

The rounded corners and moulded top lend a softness to the otherwise bold, rectilinear profile, while the plinth base ensures stability and a finished look. A versatile and practical piece, ideal for libraries, home offices, or refined living spaces.

Key Features:

* Circa 1870, Victorian period

* Breakfront design in three open sections

* Richly toned mahogany with attractive grain

* Adjustable shelving throughout

* Rounded corners and moulded cornice detail

* Solid plinth base for stability

* Good antique condition, with light surface wear and age-commensurate marks

Dimensions:

Height: 130 cm

Width: 184 cm

Depth (centre section): 36 cm

Depth (outer sections): 28 cm

An imposing yet practical piece that blends utility with timeless Victorian style.
