Superb Burr Walnut Library Bookcase C.1910

This is one of the finest quality Bookcases we have seen from the period. Superb quality, both in the construction and craftsmanship. Made from Solid Walnut with Burr Walnut and feather banding to the bottom doors. The top 3 doors open to reveal shelving for books or of course it could be used for any display purposes. The bottom doors open to reveal a single shelf in each section. All doors are lockable (keys present). The bookcase has Queen Anne influences and the base has a lovely serpentine sweep to it. There are many other features showing the quality such as the gadrooning around the edge, the individual glazing bars, the flutted corners but the weight and solid panelled back are a good quality gauge. This bookcase would have been retailed by a good London showroom such as Maple & Co.
