Victorian Gothic Revival Pitch Pine Bureau Bookcase, 19th Century

Beautiful Arts & Crafts Gothic Revival bureau bookcase that has the feel of Charles Bevan to it. With stunning grain to the golden pitch pine and pinned joints, it has a heavy carved sawtooth cornice decorated with star motifs above two original bubble glass doors with shaped and chamfered surrounds, the fall-front has four raised linen fold panels above a surface with sawtooth and dot carving to the edge and supported by decorative shaped sides flanking two panelled cupboard doors and all supported on a plinth base.

The glass doors open to reveal a planked back and two shelves with burgundy skirts, the fall front provides a useful surface for your books or writing and has a further shelf inside as does the base cupboard. All the doors have hooks and replacement locks each with their own key.

This bookcase is in very good condition, the glass doors are slightly out of alignment at the top, they is a patch of filling to the top of the left side, light marks to the top surface and the shelf skirts are well worn.

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.
