A matching pair of Regency style Anglo-Indian open bookcases dates from 1930 and is constructed from solid teak with a French polished dark brown finish. Each unit incorporates four graduated open shelves with a small gallery on the top, a waterfall profile, reeded mouldings down the front edges, shaped sides, original backboards, and a shaped apron at the base standing on original bracket feet. Nominal old use marks are visible on the leading edges. Measuring 118 cm high, 92.5 cm wide, and 26.8 cm deep, these sturdy and heavy bookcases are suited for placement in a gentleman's library or study to house collections of books on their open shelves.

Anglo-Indian Regency style furniture combines early 19th-century British classical proportions with indigenous Indian timbers such as teak and rosewood, crafted by local artisans using traditional woodworking techniques.

Waterfall bookcases were commonly constructed using solid hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, walnut, or teak, featuring open tier shelves that recede in depth from bottom to top.

Authentic pieces feature dense teak wood showing subtle hand-planed surfaces, traditional dovetail or mortise and tenon joinery, and minor construction irregularities consistent with artisan production.

Position the pair symmetrically on either side of a fireplace or alcove, combining framed artwork, ceramics, and bound books across the receding graduated shelves to add structural balance.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically to nourish the timber and maintain its rich original patina.
