Based on a Georgian design but crafted by the Victorians the bookcase has a moulded cornice with dental moulding and thumb moulded decorated frieze. This sits above two astragal glazed doors with key and working lock along with brass key escutcheon, the interior of the cabinet having three adjustable shelves. The base is low waisted with a rectangular moulded top above two cupboard doors with central panels framed with decorative mouldings, key and working lock.
