Antique Pitch Pine Glazed Bookcase Cabinet

19th century
Description

A beautiful 19th century glazed bookcase or display cabinet made from pitch pine, with a lower double door cupboard, and an upper glazed double door cabinet topped with a moulded cornice. Both sets of doors have working locks and keys that also act as handles. A useful and elegant piece of furniture.

This beautifully proportioned cabinet was used as a bookcase in its previous home, where it had been for around fifty years, and I think that is its intended purpose, but it would also make a lovely display cabinet. It has some attractive details such as the shaped detail to the skirt, and the breakfront detail to the cornice.

Both lead doors open using the key. The second doors are secured with internal bolts.

Please note that in most of the photos the cabinet is shown with the shelves in the upper section positioned to sit behind the glazing bars - there is an additional shelf but this means that the other two shelves have to be moved above and below the height of the glazing bars to make useable shelf spacings. This is shown in the last two photos.

The top detaches from the base for transportation - there are screws that fix the top to the base which are accessed on the inside of the top section.

Condition: This is in very good condition with minor surface wear in accordance with age and use, and is a really lovely piece of furniture. The only flaw to point out is the shelf adjustment pieces in the upper section - these are a later addition and have contemporary metal shelf support pegs. The shelves have been cut to fit around them.

Dimensions:

Width - 124cm (maximum across cornice)

Depth - 41cm

Height - 213.5cm

Mainland UK delivery (excluding the Scottish highlands) is included in the price - if you would like a quote for delivery elsewhere, or if you would like to collect the item yourself, please get in touch.

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.

Pitch pine was widely utilised in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries due to its high resin content, straight grain, and timber durability, making it ideal for domestic cabinets and institutional furnishings.

Traditional glazed bookcases feature a two-part construction comprising an upper glazed enclosure over a solid panelled cupboard base, united by mortise-and-tenon framing and hand-fitted glass glazing bars.

Pitch pine exhibits a distinct reddish-amber hue with pronounced, prominent growth rings, heavy density, and a more pronounced grain structure compared to standard white pine species.

Positioning natural pitch pine alongside neutral linen upholstery, stone surfaces, and modern studio pottery creates a balanced visual contrast between period timber framing and contemporary textures.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft microfiber cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish annually to protect the wood grain and retain the existing timber patination.
