Would sit very well on top of a sideboard, could work very well holding a display of cut glass or decanters, or as originally intended, for books!

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

A Victorian hanging bookcase is a wall-mounted shelving unit designed to hold books and display objects, typically featuring adjustable shelves and decorative woodwork typical of the 19th century.

These pieces were predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods such as rosewood, mahogany, or walnut, often featuring fine grain patterns and turned wooden supports.

Authenticity is identified through traditional joinery methods, hand-cut screws or slots, the presence of natural ageing in the timber, and period-specific hardware or ratchet mechanisms for shelf adjustment.

Mounting the piece on a neutral wall allows the rich timber grain to stand out, pairing well with curated hardback books, ceramics, and structural objects for a balanced display.

Preserve the timber by keeping it out of direct sunlight, avoiding excessive humidity, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to nourish and protect the polished surface.
