Read moreX Early 20th Century Science Lab / Old School Bookcase
£0FREE Shipping (some more remote and rural areas will incur a charge)
A simply stunning old school/ science lab cabinet dating from the 1920’s. It is in its original solid oak finish with original glass and beautifully aged brass hardware. It would have been used to store science equipment and/ or books within a school. The oak is now the perfect colour with a patina that only time can create. A super size, offering so much stylish storage that it is no doubt a statement piece. The shelves in the top section are fully adjustable (or removable) with the original brass side rails and shelf hangers.
Pieces such as this are so hard to find in original condition. Grab a slice of history and make an investment at the same time.
The piece separates in to two for easier transportation and positioning in to the room of your choice.

Read moreX Hand Carved Arts & Crafts Solid Oak Bookcase
£0FREE Delivery on this piece.
A superb solid oak bookcase dating from around the early part of the 20th Century and very much of the Arts & Crafts influence (1880-1920 in the UK) . This was clearly a commissioned piece hand made and hand carved with the initials WL to one of the uprights. The quality of the carpentry with the pegged ends and the quality of the hand carving show this was made by a true craftsman. An unusual design, with a fusion of Arts & Crafts along with an ecclesiastical influence. It may well have been produced for a local church or chapel. Only one of the supports (the right hand as you look at the bookcase) has been carved, the other is plain – as can be seen in the photographs.
We love it for its design, quality craftsmanship and practicality. Lots of shelf storage space with the added bonus of an enclosed upper cupboard. Original brassware to the handles and sliding bolt just add to the originality and appeal.
Dimensions:
142cm High (to top of side supports), 100cm Max Width, 21cm Deep

Read moreX Early 20th Century Stacking Bookcase c.1930
£0FREE Delivery on this item (some more remote and rural locations will incur a surcharge)
This is a lovely example of an early 20th Century stacking Bookcase in oak, dating from the late 1920’s to early 30’s. It is very much in the style of Globe Wernicke but without the premium price tag. Excellent craftsmanship can be seen in the stacking sections, the bookcase still has original glass in it’s glazed doors. The cutest brass handles dress the doors and each opens fully with a ball bearing catch on each to ensure they stay closed. The handles on the bottom two doors are more modern replacement but very fitting, nicely coloured and styled to match.
The shelves are a good size for books or other items that you might want to display. The bookcase can be taken apart for easy transportation or relocation to another room. A great addition to any home!
