A superb pair of antique Minty of Oxford barrister bookcases, crafted in solid quarter-sawn oak and dating from circa 1910. Rare to find as a matching pair, these stackable lawyer’s bookcases feature their original Minty Oxford labels mounted inside the doors.
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.
