Condition Report:
Here is a fine quality English George V Globe Wernicke oak four-tier glazed waterfall bookcase, circa 1920, incorporating a drawer, in excellent original condition. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges, but nothing significant, considering the age of the item. The bookcase stands on its original plinth and retains its original bracket feet and backboards. Each tier retains the original glass sliding doors, with original working door mechanisms and knobs. The working drawer retains its original handles – the drawer bottom shows signs of old ink marks. The backboards are original. The bookcase has been French polished by hand, to a professional standard, in our workshop, therefore the colour and patination are of an excellent standard. The item is solid in joint and ready to use.
