19th Century Quality Campaign Bookcase Cabinet
Delivering from: Newark, United Kingdom (UK)
£1,190
Description
A fabulous quality campaign bookcase, this cabinet folds out to reveal an interior fitted with shelves and was originally intended for travelling.
ā Wonderful quality and craftsmanship.
ā Brass fittings, including recessed handles to the doors.
ā Beautiful inlaid stringing to the door fronts.
ā Internal dimensions: 4 sections when closed, H 22 x W 34 x D 28; 2 sections when closed, H 10 x W 34 x D 28.
Whilst originally meant for travelling, this cabinet will make a superb piece for any home as a closed bookcase, to protect books from sunlight or simply hide them from view. It will make a great talking point for any room. If the books are laid on their sides, the closed box will encompass an A4 sized book easily.
In good condition showing wear consistent with age and use. The cabinet closes nicely and is easily opened, with the bottom catch functioning properly, but the top catch is loose and the central hook falls down, which has led to wear on the internal wood of the door where it has continually caught when closed. No key is available. None of this affects function as a piece of furniture in the home. There has previously been an inset metal name plate on the top which has been removed at some point and the wood restored, the shape remaining visible.
