About the Item
Victorian Mahogany Triple Section Open Bookcase (c.1870)
Item Code: 1040A
A handsome and substantial Victorian mahogany open bookcase, dating to the mid-to-late 19th century, offering classic elegance and generous storage in equal measure.
Comprising three graduated sections, the bookcase features a breakfront design that lends architectural interest and presence. Each section houses fully adjustable shelves, supported by traditional wooden sliders, making it highly adaptable for books of varying heights or curated displays. The warm mahogany tones are enriched with a fine patina, showcasing the natural grain and age of the timber.
The rounded corners and moulded top lend a softness to the otherwise bold, rectilinear profile, while the plinth base ensures stability and a finished look. A versatile and practical piece, ideal for libraries, home offices, or refined living spaces.
