Victorian Ivy Carved Oak Library Bookcase

A beautiful Victorian four door library bookcase with carved panels of climbing ivy and a parquetry veneered top. It has carved mouldings to the four glazed doors, two imitation drawers and four fielded panel doors below. Fitted with wooden knob handles, brass catches and locks this attractive bookcase stands on a plinth base.

With four adjustable pine shelves to each side of the top and one to each of the cupboards below this bookcase can house a large 44ft 9in (13.65m) run of books. In good condition, even the inside of the door frames have been finished with quarter sawn oak veneer. There is replacement handle on one base door which does not detract from the overall look and as should be expected there are marks consistent with age and use. This bookcase would blend in well with the Greenman style of furniture.

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.
