Description

Very unusual and decorative Italian paint and gilt highlighted open adjustable bookcase with the most fabulous original mercury mirror glass top surface, circa 1890.

Great size to this adjustable bookcase, you could say a 3/4 height, so it is not an overpowering proportions and you can use the top mirrored surface for display which looks fabulous with a collection of small bronzes for example.

This piece has been able to age gracefully, the paint and gilt has worn areas and has a great look.

The interior is finished with a vintage green baize and you can set the shelves to suit you.

Great piece and being slim, it will work in a number of locations.

Measuring:

51” or 130cm high

59” or 150cm wide

12 1/2” or 32cm deep

10” or 25cm shelf depth

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.
