Description

This finely carved adjustable book rest dates to the early part of the 20th Century and is decorated with Oxford University's coat of arms - three crowns surrounding the motto Dominus Illuminatio Mea - 'the Lord is my light'. The book rest is in good original condition and the oak retains a pleasing mellow colour, however it would benefit from a nourishing wax, which it will receive before being sent to its new home. The reverse bears the stamp of Rogers, 51 High St., Oxford - James Rogers worked between 1880 & 1931 as a sculptor, craftsman in wood and heraldic artist. On his retirement, one or both of his sons (Edward 1877-1959 & Arthur 1880 - 1951) ran the business for a number of years. Extra measurement - average depth when open 25cm

Dealers Notes

Whenever possible Culvertons undertake the carriage of items within London and the home counties. Professional, competitive and trusted couriers and shipping companies are engaged for deliveries for the remainder of our customers. Smaller items, when instructed, will be carefully parcelled and securely sent by the carrier.

We strive to accurately describe and illustrate our stock on the 'Selling Antiques' website. However, we understand that it is not always possible to judge from photographs how an item will look in the home or garden. For this reason, if notified within seven days from the date of delivery we offer a full refund (less any agreed carriage costs) once the item has been returned in the same condition as it left our premises.
