Victorian Mahogany Library Bookcase

Victorian mahogany library bookcase

This Victorian mahogany library bookcase was made circa 1860 in one of the best workshops of the period.

The cabinetmaker selected the best timber possible as price was secondary to quality when this was ordered.

The glazed top section with a pair of double doors that open to allow you to access the 4 adjustable shelves.

The base section with the well figured arched panel doors. These open to reveal a shelf and a large open storage space.

This bookcase not only looks magnificent, but it also will take a large collection of books.

Imagine how good this will look in your home and the admiring glances it will get.

We often overlook in the days of large removal vans and the diesel engine how much effort went into just moving furniture like this around the country.

This example would have been made in a London workshop and then transported to the suburbs by removal wagon. It may even have been crated and sent by locomotive to a far-reaching destination. The porters would load it onto the horse drawn removal wagon and then it would wind it’s slow way through the city to either the station or straight to the purchasers home where the professional classes were living.
