Lee Hawkins Antiques & Interiors has dated this piece to the 1910s.
Each bookcase is built in traditional stacking sectional form, allowing easy transport and giving them that iconic “barrister” silhouette. The oak grain is outstanding, with deep figuring and a rich, warm patina that only genuine period timber develops.
Fitted with glazed doors, these bookcases are perfect for storing books, antiques, collectibles, documents, or decorative pieces while keeping everything protected and dust-free.
