Antique Victorian Mahogany Glazed Bookcase | Arched Doors

19th century
For Sale by ActFurniture LTD
Description

Antique 19th century Victorian library bookcase in mahogany, a handsome and imposing piece of good quality, showcasing fine craftsmanship and beautifully figured timber.

The upper section has a pair of arched glazed doors enclosing adjustable shelves, over a base fitted with a long cushion-moulded frieze drawer, above a pair of arched panelled cupboard doors opening to a shelf.

The bookcase has a deep moulded cornice, and the doors are flanked by carved scrolling corbels to the top and base, all standing on a plain moulded plinth.

The mahogany displays a stunning flame figured grain to the lower doors and a warm, rich colour with a lovely mellow patina.

The bookcase comes apart in two sections for easier delivery and access. Presented in good condition commensurate with age. A very desirable Victorian mahogany bookcase, a perfect addition to any study, library, living room or dining room.

This Victorian library bookcase is constructed from mahogany with a dark brown finish and a flame figured grain. The upper section features a deep moulded cornice, a pair of arched glazed doors with adjustable shelves inside, and carved scrolling corbels flanking the top and base. The lower section includes a cushion-moulded frieze drawer above a pair of arched panelled cupboard doors and a plain moulded plinth. The piece measures 227 cm high, 126 cm wide, and 43.5 cm deep, and separates into two sections. It suits placement in a study, library, living room, or dining room to store books and display items.

A Victorian glazed bookcase is a 19th-century storage unit combining open-view glass display shelves on top with enclosed timber cupboards below. These pieces typically feature dark hardwoods, arched door frames, and carved accent corbels.

Victorian cabinetmakers predominantly utilised mahogany, walnut, and oak. Glazed sections feature original sheet glass secured with putty, often paired with flame mahogany veneers on lower cabinet panels.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass escutcheons, hand-planed back boards, and natural age-related patination or oxidisation on the timber surfaces.

A tall glazed bookcase serves as a focal piece in modern studies or dining rooms, providing dust-free display space for books, ceramics, or glass objects while contrasting with neutral wall tones.

Clean surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply beeswax once or twice a year following the grain. Keep the cabinet away from direct heat sources and high humidity to prevent timber movement or cracking.
