Regency Period Patent Library Book Picker or Book Grab with Bamboo Shaft

19th century
Description

A Regency period library book picker with original bamboo shaft.

This quirky piece of library furniture otherwise known as a book grab or book grabber has a brass patent claw mechanism to the end with a handle to the base that works the mechanism into an open and shut position. The use of bamboo is common for these rare pieces as the hollow section of the wood allowed for the internal mechanism to be threaded through with relative ease during construction.

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.

Secure Transit

The Sustainable Choice

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.
