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.

Dealers Notes

I can arrange delivery to you, whether you are within the UK or require an international delivery service, please do get in touch…as a mainland UK guide, a delivery for something around the size of a chest of drawers within approx 150 miles will be £75 to you, but if you if you are in Scotland, Wales, Ireland or Cornwall please get in touch to confirm delivery costs!

Based in Uppingham, Rutland…having been in the business for 25 years focusing on mostly French and English decorative antiques and interiors from the 18th to the early 20th century, hopefully a collection you will enjoy browsing and hopefully re home some of my finds!

Viewing here in Uppingham is very welcome in my spacious barn studio but also I have a showroom based within the Uppingham Antiques Centre, which is well worth a visit and have a good lunch in town too!

Any queries about anything you have seen or about delivery, don't hesitate to get in touch.

FAQs

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.
