Description:
Here is a fine quality English 17th century style carved open Victorian oak bookcase, measuring 4ft wide, circa 1880, with good colour, fine quality carvings and in excellent original condition. The Victorian open bookcase has been cleaned and traditionally wax-polished by hand in our workshop; therefore, the colour and patination is to a high standard. Incorporating a twin-plank top with a floral carved moulding, the Victorian oak bookcase is decorated profusely with 17th century style carvings and blind fretwork, along the moulded top, frame, plinth and side of the bookcase. It was fashionable during the Victorian period to replicate furniture in the style of earlier period, especially with 17th carvings. The Victorian oak bookcase consists of two adjustable shelves (the shelves can be removed from the bookcase if required). The wooden support bars can be moved up or down to adjust the height of each shelf. The bookcase stands on a carved moulded plinth and bracket feet, and retains its original backboards.
