Scottish Victorian Golden Walnut Waterfall Open Bookcase

A nice Victorian walnut waterfall bookcase dating to c.1890. With a shaped pediment and dentil cornice the front also shows fluting to the uprights and shelf fronts, and a carved band centred by a presentation plaque to ‘The Rev. George Morris …….. Dalry 8th February 1894’. With two adjustable shelves to the upper section and one adjustable shelf to the base this bookcase will house up to 16ft 8in (5.1m) of books.

In overall good condition with solid joints and a golden colour very similar to oak, it does have some dark marks to both top surfaces (although the top is not so visible from normal standing height). It has a shrinkage line on the lower right side as well as the usual marks and dents that should be expected from age and useage over the years.

Width - 44 1/2in (113cm)

Depth - 12 1/4in (31cm)

Height - 62in (157.5cm)

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.
