Edwardian Rosewood Long Bookcase from Harrods Manchester

1900 - 1920

Sold by witchantiques.com

Description

This is a magnificent Edwardian bookcase made from solid and veneered rosewood. Of large proportions at over 10 1/2 foot long but not particularly tall for it's length at 6'9 foot. The quality of the piece is outstanding with every effort gone into the construction. There are labels for Harrods on the bookcase which possibly means they had it as a showcase, it would explain the efforts gone into the bookcase and possibly the size. The glazed doors, top and bottom feature the central glass to be bevelled, which enhances the aesthetics although this is easier to see in person. The lower centre doors are crisply carved with urns, foliage and flowers. All the drawers are lined in solid mahogany and the original brass handles have strong Aesthetic movement overtones in their design. Condition is very good and the bookcase breaks down into a number of pieces for transportation.
