Biography:- Father of Thomas William Taphouse [who is the son of the title] Charles Taphouse was originally a broker and cabinet-maker and later set up as a music-seller in Magdalen Street, Oxford from 1859. He was likely to have died by 1861 when Thomas Taphouse was head of the family and firm. By 1901 Taphouse were art dealers. Taphouse music shop remained at 3 Magdalen Street until 1982.
This bookcase is truly stunning, the only one of its kind anywhere in the world and it will most likely never be repeated, the carving is not only the work of a master craftsman, its the work of someone who clearly did this for the love of making it, not for the sale, this really is a tour de force and the pictures don't come close to doing it justice
This cabinet has been lightly restored to include a deep clean, hand condition wax and hand polish from top to bottom, it is in very good order for the period
