An Authentic British-Colonial Bookcase Made From Teakwood
Located in Chicago, IL
This solid teak bookcase was made around 1900 AD in Rangoon, Burma in the classic British style. We call these impressive pieces by different names; "British Colonial" , "Anglo-Indian" or even "British Raj" but they all refer to the superb solid wood furniture that was made from the early 1800's's to the 1960's in the former British colonies in Asia. During the British Empire in India and Burma (also known as the British Raj) much furniture was made according to British designs, substituting far superior native hardwoods like teak and rosewood for European ones. Teak had the added benefit of repelling insects and moisture, so it was very good for storage cabinets. For protection of books and documents, it was ideal as the subtle teak scent drove away moths as well as termites. After independence, many bookcases became mercantile cabinets, ideal for displaying imported boxed goods and keeping the packaging free of dust. This piece has been lovingly restored. All drawers and doors operate smoothly and handles have been cleaned. The piece has been re-stained and waxed and is ready for many more years of use. The piece has several distinctive features; first, the style is British but the construction technique is actually more Chinese, which is extraordinary. Most likely, the workshop that made it had access to immigrant Chinese carpenters. The mortise-and-tenon joinery is exquisite. Second, the mullions dividing the glass panes are sharply chiseled, giving the cabinet a more refined appearance than we expect from colonial pieces. Finally, the flush brass campaign pulls on the lower drawers add zest and style. Like most colonial bookcases, it comes in two easily separable parts. The piece is exceptionally well-proportioned and blends easily with modern decor. Just add old books, rare artifacts...
