About the Item

This is a Canterbury or bookcase or 3-stage display or server made in England, circa 1870. The piece is made of Kashmir walnut (the finest cut of Burr Walnut). There is a pierced brass gallery on the right and left sides and across the back of the top. All of the surfaces, the drawer front and the sides and back on the base have a walnut banding with a string inlay of satinwood on both sides of the banding. The supports are tapered, reeded and turned. The drawer retains its original wooden knobs. There are 2 shaped decorative dividers to the bottom shelf. The piece rest on nicely turned feet that retain their original beaded and collared solid brass castors. The piece is finished on all 4 sides so that it can be put into the middle of a room. It is of fabulous quality and is in wonderful physical condition and finish. It measures 22 in. wide x 16 in. deep x 41 1/2 in. tall (to the top shelf surface) x 42 1/2 in. tall (to the top of the brass gallery). This is a superb piece of beautiful English antique furniture.
