How do I choose the right size?

Measure your available wall space and consider the depth of your books before selecting a unit. Slim and low dwarf options suit smaller rooms, while large library bookcases require substantial clearance. Take note of whether the shelves are fixed or adjustable, as this influences how you can arrange volumes of varying heights within the unit.

Are shelves usually adjustable?

Many Victorian and Edwardian bookcases feature adjustable shelves supported by wooden ratchets or brass pins. This allows you to customise the tier heights for folios or standard novels. Simpler rustic or country pieces often feature fixed shelves nailed or glued permanently into the housing sides.

How do I care for antique wood?

Keep wooden furniture away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to prevent the timber from drying out and splitting. Dust regularly with a dry, soft cloth and apply appropriate wax sparingly to nourish the finish. Maintain stable room humidity to preserve both the timber and any delicate inlay work.
