About the Item
Victorian Walnut Open Library Bookcase (c.1880)
Item Code: 1046A
A simple and practical late Victorian open bookcase, c.1880, crafted in beautifully figured walnut and offering generous shelving within a clean and refined form. This piece is ideal for a traditional study, office, or sitting room, where understated elegance and utility are equally valued.
With three fixed tiers and a deep plinth base, the bookcase features a moulded top and plain stiles, allowing the rich grain and warm hue of the walnut to take centre stage. Its lower height makes it suitable for placement beneath windows or along shorter wall runs, while still providing ample space for books, files, or decorative objects.
This is a solid and honest example of Victorian craftsmanship—versatile, unfussy, and ready for immediate use.
Key Features:
* Victorian period, circa 1880
* Beautifully figured walnut throughout
* Open front with three fixed shelves
* Moulded top and recessed plinth base
* Clean, architectural lines
* Warm, medium walnut tone
* Strong, usable proportions
* Age-related wear consistent with use

Width: 143 cm
