This “Late 19th Century Ebonised and Inlaid Bookcase” found a buyer.

It was listed by Tom Scott Antiques. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.

Description

Very decorative and well proportioned late 19th century English ebonised and inlaid pier cabinet or bookcase with brass mounts and original glass door, also working lock and key.

The interior has been lined with a teal baize to lighten it for display. The shelves can be removed if you just need one rather than two.

(There is a second cabinet available that is extremely close, but not quite a pair, so do get in touch if you are interested in two!)

Second cabinet shown in the photo, but this listing is for one only.

Victorian ebonised furniture features timber stained or painted to mimic expensive ebony, often highlighted with gilt bronze mounts, marquetry inlay, and classical motifs.

These pieces typically utilised a softwood or hardwood carcase finished with ebonised veneers, contrasting exotic wood inlays such as satinwood, and gilt brass or ormolu mounts.

Authentic pieces exhibit period construction techniques such as hand-cut dovetails, older glass panes with minor imperfections, and genuine patination on the ebonised finish and brass hardware.

An ebonised cabinet adds structural contrast and gravitas to neutral rooms, working effectively as a focal point against pale walls or paired with minimalist modern furnishings.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply microcrystalline wax sparingly to protect the finish, avoiding silicone-based polishes and direct sunlight.
