Description

A magnificent antique Victorian mahogany open bookcase. This has been adapted by our restorer from an original three section Victorian wardrobe, so most of it is made from the original antique timber.

It is of outstanding quality, the beautifully moulded cornice, edges and base are exactly as they were when this was crafted around 150 years ago. It now contains adjustable shelves with shark teeth supports, offering lots of storage space for an enormous amount of books.

This has been re-polished and it is in great all round condition, with a gorgeous patina. The top lifts off and the two main sections lift off the base, this breaks down into four pieces so is fairly easy to transport.

Width – 76 inches , 193 cm

Depth – 15 inches , 38 cm

FAQs

Victorian furniture encompasses the various decorative styles prevalent during the reign of Queen Victoria, generally characterised by robust construction, historical revival motifs, and the use of dense hardwoods such as mahogany and walnut.

Cabinetmakers during the Victorian era predominantly utilised solid timbers and veneers of mahogany, oak, and walnut, often incorporating hand-cut dovetail joints and brass fixings for structural integrity.

Authentic pieces typically feature period construction methods such as hand-planed surfaces, traditional joinery, timber shrinkage lines, and the natural patina associated with age rather than artificial distress.

Pairing a dark wood antique bookcase with contemporary minimalist decor creates a striking focal point, grounding the room while providing functional storage for books and curated objects.

Maintain antique mahogany by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting, applying microcrystalline wax periodically, and dusting gently with a dry, soft cloth.
