Description

This is an antique headmaster's office bookcase. An English, oak cabinet, dating to the Edwardian period, circa 1910.

Attractive carved forms and wood grains

Displaying a desirable aged patina - in good order throughout

Select oak offers fine grain interest and rich colour

Wisps of medullary rays shine beneath the wax polish finish

Shallow tiered top surface sitting above the whole

Carved sash apron fascinates ahead of the upper display space

Arranged as a pair of generously sized book shelves

Field panel doors to base open to reveal a concealed third shelf

Panel borders decorated with a distinctive carved beading

Small, inset brass lined lock — key absent

Terminating in a continuous plinth base with rakish profile

Raised upon four ebonised, squat bun feet
