Antique Walnut Open Bookcase

1900 - 1920
Description

A handsome antique walnut open bookcase of substantial proportions, with a warm, rich colour and attractive figuring to the timber.

The upper section features three adjustable shelves enclosed by moulded uprights with repeated recessed panel detailing, beneath a substantial projecting moulded cornice. The boarded back gives the bookcase a pleasing traditional appearance and the adjustable shelves allow for books or objects of varying heights. The lower section is fitted with two wide drawers retaining attractive brass drop handles and escutcheons, flanked by further architectural moulded detail and raised on a moulded plinth base. A particularly well-proportioned and useful bookcase with plenty of storage and an attractive architectural profile.

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

Open bookcases from this period feature accessible open shelves without glass doors, often supported by decorative pilasters and built over a base unit containing drawers or cupboards for secondary storage.

These pieces were predominantly crafted using solid walnut or rich walnut veneers over solid timber carcases, featuring hand-cut dovetail drawer joints and solid panelled backs.

Authentic examples display hand-carved detailing, natural age-related patination, hand-cut dovetails on lower drawers, and wear around the shelf support grooves.

Place the unit against a neutral accent wall, styling the shelves with a curated mix of bound volumes, ceramics, and decorative objects to balance traditional woodwork with modern aesthetics.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the timber away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture.
