It was listed by Marylebone Antiques. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
Marylebone Antiques has dated this piece to the Victorian era.
I’ve never come across an original pair like these. They would look great either side of a fireplace.
The carving all around the mirrors is very fine & especially the carved floral swags below the top. The mirrors themselves are all original. The top, sides, front sides & the plinth are all burr walnut & the overall colour is original. There are also applied carved corbels attached to either side. The bookshelves are all adjustable on sharks tooth supports & the inside back is panelled.
We have had these bookcases gently revived & polished, so as not to spoil the overall character. Please enlarge all the images to appreciate all the fine features.
