Antique Neoclassical Style Mahogany Open Bookcase

1920 - 1940
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 reeded columns at the front edges, with beautiful bronze heads and the top, and bronze feet at the bottom. 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.

Width – 55 inches , 140 cm

Depth – 13 inches , 33 cm

Height – 31 inches , 79 cm

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Neoclassical furniture drawing inspiration from classical antiquity features symmetrical proportions, straight lines, geometric forms, and architectural motifs such as fluted columns, pilasters, and carved mounts.

These pieces are predominantly constructed from fine hardwoods like mahogany or rosewood, often embellished with gilt-bronze or brass mounts, polished timber veneers, and adjustable wooden shelving.

Authentic pieces feature traditional joinery methods such as hand-cut dovetails, genuine cast metal ornamentation, balanced classical symmetry, and deep, natural timber patina.

A low open bookcase serves well as a room divider or living room statement piece, providing an upper flat surface to display ceramic vases, table lamps, and framed art alongside books.

Dust regularly using a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically along the grain. Keep away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to prevent heat damage or timber shrinkage.
