Description

A very smart and well made antique Edwardian inlaid mahogany open bookcase. This was made in England, it dates from around the 1900-1910 period.

It is of superb quality, it is very sturdy and heavy. The mahogany has a gorgeous colour tone and patina, there is inlaid satin wood cross banding on the top edges and inlaid satin wood borders down the front edges. The three shelves are adjustable, there is plenty of storage space inside.

We have had this recently re-polished, the condition is excellent for its age, with just some extremely minor wear remaining beneath the polish here and there.

FAQs

Edwardian furniture, produced during the reign of King Edward VII from 1901 to 1910, is characterised by lighter proportions, refined elegance, and a revival of earlier 18th-century classical motifs such as Sheraton and Hepplewhite designs.

These pieces were typically crafted from dense hardwoods like mahogany or satinwood, frequently enhanced with delicate decorative stringing, banding, and marquetry inlay using contrasting timbers.

Authenticity is determined by examining construction methods such as hand-cut dovetailing, traditional timber shrinkage, appropriate secondary woods at the back and interior, and natural patination accumulated over a century.

Pairing dark wood antiques with neutral walls, minimalist contemporary seating, and curated arrangements of books and ceramics creates a balanced, sophisticated aesthetic that bridges traditional and modern design.

Maintain antique timber by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heating vents to prevent cracking, and periodically nourish the wood with traditional beeswax rather than modern silicone polishes.
