About the Item
A French bibliotheque tournante, or revolving bookcase made by Terquem, Paris. Made of solid mahogany with brass inlay trim, this bookcase has three shelves with adjustable dividers to accommodate books of various sizes.

Rolls smoothly on castors, perfect for a library or study (books pictured are not included). In good condition, but missing brass inlay on the legs and on the top. A brass pull was added where there used to be a lock and key. Label of maker: Bibliotheque Terquem, 19 Rue Scribe, Paris. Founded in 1877, the company exhibited at the Universal Exhibition of Paris in 1889 and was known for their innovative revolving shelves and fine quality furniture and desk accessories.
