1900 - 1920
For Sale by ActFurniture LTD
Description

Vintage pair of open bookcases in oak, handsome and well-proportioned pieces of good quality, showcasing fine craftsmanship and classic Georgian inspired styling.

Each bookcase offers four tiers of open storage, with three adjustable shelves set on shelf strips, so the spacing can be arranged to suit books, records or display pieces.

The bookcases have a moulded cornice with a dentil frieze and stand on deep moulded plinth bases, giving them a smart, architectural look.

The oak displays a stunning figured grain to the sides and a deep, rich dark colour.

Presented in good condition commensurate with age. A very desirable and versatile pair of matching bookcases, a perfect addition to any study, home office, library or living room, either side by side or flanking a fireplace or doorway.

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.

Georgian style bookcases feature classical proportions, restrained architectural ornamentation, dentil or carved cornices, and open, accessible shelving designed for personal libraries.

These pieces are typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak or mahogany, featuring traditional joinery, sturdy shelf supports, and heavy plinth bases.

Look for classical architectural details such as dentil moulding, hand-cut joinery, solid timber backboards, and natural age-related wear or patination.

Position them symmetrically alongside a doorway or fireplace, layering books with decorative ceramics and metalwork to balance the dark timber tones.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually, keeping the wood away from direct heat sources to prevent drying or split timber.
