A Superbly Waxed Antique /Old Pine Original Adjustable Shelf Bookshelf

19th century
Description

This bookshelf is in good condition. We have professionally stripped and restored it and then waxed it in a lovely antique brown bri wax giving it a stunning patina.

The bookshelf would look well in an old or modern property for storage of books or in an office to store office files.

The bookshelf stands on square back legs and round turned front bun feet supporting the main section. There are two small drawers to the bottom. The drawers have round turned wooden knobs. To the sides there are fluted columns and carved corbles. There are are three shelves for storage and the shelves are adjustable which is a nice feature. The top has a standard graduated cornice that is beautifully arched to the middle.

The height is 193cm, the width is 122cm and the depth is 41cm.

Delivery Terms

WE OFFER FREE DELIVERY TO ENGLAND, WALES, AND SCOTLAND (BELOW PERTH)

Shipping /delivery is equally as important to us as the item of furniture itself. It is simple; we deliver everything personally in England / Wales so this way we are 100% sure that the item / furniture reaches our customers safe and sound. We NEVER use couriers. Delivery is generally within 7-14 days of purchase. We guarantee delivery anywhere in England / Wales within 21 days of purchase.

Deliveries to Scotland as far north as Perth are guaranteed within 6 weeks of purchase. If delivery is required above Perth in Scotland please contact James on 07957 392 074 or

james@davidhuntantiques.com for a price.

Deliveries are either carried out by David or James as one member of the team is required to stay in the warehouse, therefore we do require assistance from the van into your hallway with the item of furniture. We have set delivery days and once the van is loaded (a day prior to delivery) David will call customers to arrange a two hour delivery time slot. Customers will also receive a text when delivery is 30 minutes away.

It is really helpful if customers can provide their ‘what3words’ location to make delivery as smooth

as possible, especially properties in rural locations.

Ireland Deliveries

We do use a very good courier company called DVM Service to deliver goods to Ireland. We ask the customer to pay this company direct for the delivery charge and we then liaise with DVM regarding collection of a customer’s item of furniture to be shipped to Ireland.

Europe & Rest of the World

We do not ship to Europe or the Rest of the World.

Archival Detail
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.
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.
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.

Victorian pine bookcases typically feature solid timber construction, architectural mouldings such as arched pediments, turned bun feet, and adjustable shelving systems supported by wooden ratchets or pegs.

These pieces were crafted primarily from solid Scots pine or European pine timber, often featuring hand-cut dovetail drawer joinery, tongue-and-groove backboards, and natural beeswax or shellac finishes.

Authentic period examples demonstrate signs of age such as natural wood shrinkage, historic tool marks, hand-carved decorative motifs, and uneven wear consistent with 19th-century cabinetmaking.

A pine bookcase can be styled by pairing structured rows of books with ceramic vessels, framed prints, and woven baskets to complement neutral or layered country schemes.

Waxed pine requires periodic dusting with a dry, lint-free cloth and an annual application of clear natural beeswax to maintain the patina and protect the timber surface from drying.
