This tall 19th-century Victorian gentleman's library bookcase stands 196 cm high, 109 cm wide, and 30 cm deep, and separates into two distinct upper and lower sections for transport. Built from dark brown timber with a polished finish, the piece features a moulded cornice above an upper section fitted with astragal glazed doors and interior shelves. The lower section contains two solid panelled cupboard doors complete with white tassel pulls, all raised on bracket feet. Suitable for use in a study, library, or living room, the bookcase provides both display space for books and decorative items behind glass and enclosed storage below. The slim profile accommodates smaller spaces while maintaining traditional storage capacity.

FAQs

A 19th century glazed bookcase cabinet is a tall timber storage unit featuring upper doors fitted with glass panes, frequently with decorative astragal glazing bars, positioned over a solid lower cupboard base.

These bookcases were primarily constructed from dense mahogany timber, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, brass hardware, and glass panes fitted into timber glazing bars.

Authentic 19th century pieces typically feature hand-planed back boards, original brass locks or hinges, slight surface variations in hand-blown glass, and age-consistent wear around the timber joins.

A slim mahogany bookcase functions effectively in an alcove, hallway, or home office, populated with books, ceramics, or glassware to balance dark timber tones against neutral contemporary walls.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and radiators to prevent shrinking, apply beeswax polish annually along the grain, and clean glass surfaces with a microfibre cloth lightly dampened with water.
