Antique Victorian Oak Open Library Bookcase – Large Country House Bookshelf

A wonderfully characterful antique Victorian oak open bookcase, dating to approximately circa 1880–1900.

Beautifully proportioned and full of authentic period character, this substantial bookcase has developed a superb warm, aged oak patina. Its simple architectural form is complemented by a deep moulded cornice, shaped side supports and a traditional boarded back.

Three generous open shelving levels provide excellent storage and display space for books, ceramics, artwork and collected objects. Its impressive width makes this a particularly striking piece for a living room, library, hallway or country-style interior.
