About the Item

19th Century English Oak Bookcase by James Shoolbred A fabulous 19th century English astragal glazed oak bookcase by James Shoolbred.

James Shoolbred & Co or also known as James Shoolbred was established in the 1820’s as a draper’s shop, at Tottenham Court Road, London. The company first began supplying textiles to the furniture trade. By the 1860’s, the company began designing, manufacturing and selling its own high quality furniture in their thriving and fashionable furniture shop. By the 1880’s, Jas Shoolbred had expanded to such an extent that the business had to move to larger premises, becoming one of the first large department stores in London, who would supply quality furniture and accessories for the English home.
