About the Item
Antiques of London
We are delighted to offer for sale this Antique Dwarf Open Bookcase.
Dating back to circa 1880, this captivating piece of history is crafted from solid oak and brimming with character. The age and use have bestowed upon it a truly stunning patina, the surface of the oak subtly shifting in tone and texture, a visual testament to its long life. The warm, time-worn finish speaks of stories and secrets held within its wooden frame.
The bookcase is adorned with exceptional carvings. A prominent Greenman, a symbol of nature's regenerative power, is expertly carved, its leafy face watching over the shelves. Flanking the Greenman are two lion heads, each meticulously sculpted, their fierce expressions adding a touch of regal authority to the piece. These intricate carvings are a testament to the artistry and skill of the original craftsman.
Beyond its obvious beauty, this bookcase holds a surprise: a cleverly concealed secret drawer. This hidden compartment offers a haven for treasured items, adding a touch of intrigue and mystery to its functionality. The interior features two shelves that are not adjustable, providing ample space for displaying prized books or decorative objects. This bookcase is more than just a piece of furniture; it's a tangible link to the past, a captivating blend of artistry, history, and hidden charm that will enrich any home.
