Rare Pair of Victorian Minty Oxford Triple Bank Library Stacking Legal Bookcases

About the Item

We are delighted to offer for sale this lovely and exceptionally rare pair of Victorian Minty oxford stacking legal bookcases in solid oak 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, I have never seen triple bank stacking bookcases before and never on this scale, each section is double the size of normal stacking bookcases with height adjustable shelves, usually the sections are so small you can only fit very low narrow books, with these you have significantly more versatility. You can actually remove the middle section of one of these and add it to the other one so you have one very large bookcase and another side board sized 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 Dimensions: Height 179.5cm Width 138.5cm total width when together 277cm Depth 28cm 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.
