Antique English Oak Glazed Bookcase Cabinet C1920

1900 - 1920

Sold by Billy Hunt & Co.

Description

We have a highly appealing 3 door glazed English bookcase possessing a pleasing on the eye classic period design and of good quality.

The flat round pad feet and well sized plinth support a lesser seen 3 door arrangement with arched frames to all three doors. All doors have working locks operated by the same key. Inside there are 3 adjustable thick solid oak shelves original to the bookcase.

Condition is good with a pleasing tone and grain to the solid oak and light sensible aging - we have a little repair to the rear of the right hand side beading of about 4cms - not particularly noticeable or a concern. Overall it’s weighty, sturdy and sitting firm. Altogether a fine looking piece and ready for placing after a careful wax and clean by our workshop.

A classic piece of late 1920s English oak furniture for home or commercial use.

Billy Hunt and Co is located on a large Victorian farm just a short country drive from the Rangemore village, a designated conservation area, which was built by Michael Thomas Bass in the 1850s to house the Bass Rangemore Estate workers consisting mainly of Victorian redbrick cottages and the occasional barn.

Our home is a classic Victorian designed and well equipped late 19th century 2 story red brick built barn of some 4000 sq feet nestled in classic English countryside, which enjoyed a careful full renovation in 2000. The estate still benefits being managed in the traditional manner with an Estate Manger, estate carpenter, gardeners etc. A rather delightful place to have as our work space.

Martina, there is no Billy at Billy hunt, has led the team since 2103 and is an interior designer qualified from The Inchbald School of Design London whose previous working life included such clients as Vertu, Aston Martin and Johnnie Walker to name a few.

Please do not hesitate to call or email if you have any questions on the pieces that may interest you - Many thanks Martina
