Antique Tall Mahogany Open Bookcase?

1900 - 1920
Description

A very useful good quality open bookcase in original condition, offering copious amounts of shelving for books and objects.

It has tongue and groove, stained pine, back and small bracket feet with five adjustable shelves.

The top four shelves are 10 inches deep and the 5th shelf and small base cupboard are 12 inches deep.

The base cupboard has panel doors and brass latch handle.

This is a very heavy substantially made bookcase that could be painted to blend into the decor of a room.

It has some knocks and bumps that one would expect due to its age and use but is very sound in structure and a useful item for book storage.

We are retiring soon so would like to offer 10% off all our items that are currently full price.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Open bookcases became prominent in Victorian and Edwardian libraries to provide accessible storage for extensive book collections without the obstruction of glazed doors.

Traditional pieces were typically constructed from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, tongue-and-groove backboards, and fitted timber shelves.

Look for signs of hand-planed timber, original backboards with authentic fixings, natural patination, and wear consistent with age around shelf edges and base rails.

Style a tall open bookcase by blending literature with decorative ceramics, framed art, and brass objects to balance visual weight against contemporary neutral walls.

Dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, avoiding direct sunlight and proximity to heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.
