About the Item

Striking and sizeable oak bookcase with a gallery on top. Back in the earliest years of the 20th century not many people learned how to read. Even less people had the means to buy their own books. And only very few individuals would be able to own a home in which this striking bookcase could shine. I am sure you understand that this revolving bookcase was not just a bookcase, this was a statement piece. One that an intelectual and wealthy person would have on display to impress, often in a library or study. On top would have been a stylish oil lamp, a globe or maybe a tray with a decanter and some glasses. Apart from being rare, stylish and beautiful this revolving bookcase with its great patina is practical, highly decorative and an absolute joy to own and look at. Mind you, our fair price for this stylish antique includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days. Maximum height x width x depth: 41.5 x 19.3 x 19.3 inches. Height of the bookshelves in the first tier x second tier: 12.5 x 13 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 1000+ listings by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.

Unique Liberty & Co Marked Great Arts & Crafts Cabinet Attr. to Leonard Wyburd
By Leonard Wyburd
Located in Lisse, NL
Stunning Arts and Crafts cupboard by one of the greatest. We are certain that this wonderful handcrafted, stained oak cabinet was designed by Leonard Francis Wyburd (1865-1958). We are certain, because of several style elements that are typical for his designs for Liberty & Co in the late 19th century. We have no pictures in books or other evidence, but the pieces from his hand that can be found on the internet reveal style elements that are very similar and they were used by no one else. The design of this incredibly artistic piece shows both the influences of Medieval and Rural Britain. It were these early and amazing pieces of furniture from the Liberty Studio (headed by Wyburd) that made people across the continent speak of the 'Stile Liberty'. Designers like Wyburd and pieces of furniture like this amazing cabinet, influenced and shaped the entire development of the Jugendstil and Art Nouveau in Europe. That too makes this rare piece important for collectors and possibly for museums around the world. This cupboard is a work of art and it is an absolute joy to look at. It is all made of solid and stained oak and apart from the stunning and impressive overal design with the overhanging top with supporting beams, there are some key style elements that make this cabinet really stand out. First of all, there is the ever so true saying which is embossed in copper in beautiful Arts and Crafts letters which reads 'WELCOME IS THE BEST CHEER'. Secondly, there are the rare leather panels in the doors which come with (faded) images in slight reliëf. The one on the left is of a man in a hat and tights and he is playing a mandolin. The leather artwork...
