William IV Mahogany Library Bookcase Cabinet, 8ft High

This is a nice William IV mahogany bookcase in good condition and of nice proportions.

The top section has a moulded cornice above an arched glazed cupboard door enclosing four adjustable shelves with rounded front edges. There is a key for the lock which has been replaced and the escutcheon is gone.

The base section has an arched fielded panel door and stands on the plinth base. It has the original lock, a brass escutchon and a key, the interior does have holes for shelf supports if you wanted to add a shelf.

The top and base of this bookcase are original to each other and was possibly once part of a larger bookcase.

Condition:

This is in structurally good condition with no loose joints. There is a small chip to the right corner of the frieze (so high up it is not very noticeable), there is a chip out the bottom left corner of the glass door frame and another chip to the top right corner of the base door. The top surface of the base section has white marks, the sides have nibbles out the veneer to the edges, joins to the veneer and the plinth is scuffed. It would benefit from being polished and has been priced accordingly.

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.
