Antique Burr Walnut Cascading Open Bookcase

1900 - 1920
Description

A beautiful and very well made antique burr walnut cascading open bookcase. This was made in England, it dates from around the 1900-1920 period.

It is of superb quality and has a gorgeous design, it is also a very useful size. The sides and top are beautifully shaped, this has two useful drawers in the lower section, and it sits on cabriole legs.

We have had this revived and re-polished, it is in very good condition for its age, with just some minor wear remaining beneath the polish. There has been a very slight bit of movement on the sides, this is not noticeable at all unless viewed from the back, it is seen in the close up images.

Width – 26 inches , 66 cm

Depth – 11 inches , 28 cm

Height – 42 inches , 107 cm

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

A cascading or waterfall bookcase features shelves that decrease in depth from bottom to top. This design allows larger volumes to sit on the deeper lower shelves while lighter items reside on the narrower upper tiers.

These bookcases are constructed using thin veneers of burr walnut cut from wood burl to show complex grain patterns, laid over a solid hardwood framework such as oak, pine, or beech.

Key identification features include the use of cabriole legs ending in pad or ball-and-claw feet, gracefully curved or scalloped apron profiles, and rich walnut veneers with teardrop or batwing brass hardware.

A walnut bookcase provides structural contrast against neutral walls. Designers balance the dark timber by interspersing books with modern ceramic vessels, glass objects, or small framed artwork.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax paste annually. Keep the furniture away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage and fading of the wood figure.
