A rather good looking 5 tier English oak open bookcase c1910 of fine quality, a little different than the norm and ready for placing in good historic condition.

We have a well shaped base, a “waterfall” effect to the front, an attractive pierced top plinth all using good quality English oak of pleasing tone and grain, all very shapely and pleasing to the eye. We have not seen one of this design before.

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

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

The Arts and Crafts movement, spanning roughly 1880 to 1920, emphasised simple form, honest construction, and visible craftsmanship. Furniture from this era often highlights natural timber grain, exposed joinery, and restrained decorative elements such as stylized cutouts or hand-carved motifs.

Edwardian and Arts and Crafts bookcases were predominantly constructed from solid hardwoods, with oak being the most favoured material due to its strength and prominent grain patterns. Other common timbers included mahogany, walnut, and ash, often finished with wax or varnish to highlight the natural wood tones.

Authentic pieces from this period typically display hand-finished joinery such as mortise and tenon joints, natural age-related patination, and evidence of hand tools on unseen surfaces like backs or undersides. Look for quarter-sawn oak showcasing distinctive medullary rays and era-appropriate cutouts or hardware.

An antique open bookcase provides functional contrast when paired with contemporary minimalist decor. Style the shelves by interspering books horizontally and vertically alongside modern ceramic vessels, sculptural objects, or small indoor plants to create balanced visual texture.

Maintain solid oak furniture by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve moisture and finish. Keep pieces away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage, warping, or fading.
