About the Item

We are delighted to offer for sale this lovely pair of early circa 1920 Minty oxford stacking legal bookcases in solid oak made in the Art Deco style A very good looking and well-made pair, there were a number of companies making this type of bookcase in the late Victorian era up to present day, the finest are by far and away made by Minty. The quality of the craftsmanship is simply out of this world, each door can be opened and rested at any point and it doesn’t move, they are perfectly balanced, the doors have ball bearing clamps which neatly depress to hold the door in place As mentioned these are modular stacking bookcases so you can buy other sections that are the same and make them larger or if you have a small space to fill remove a section to make it smaller Condition wise for the era is very good, the glass is all original as are the handles, we have cleaned waxed and polished the timber and cleaned the glass, there are color variations between the two due to sun fading These are an Art Deco style set, the handles are rectangle and the tops have Manhattan style timber carving Dimensions: Height 143.5cm Width 89cm total width when together 178cm Depth 30cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point This item is available for collection from our Wimbledon warehouses Condition Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
