An excellent example of original mid century low glazed bookcases/ units, with original glass, shelf and supports. These bookcases were supplied by Hopewell’s of Nottingham, still in business today. Established as a family Furnishings shop in 1885, they are now based in Huntingdon Street but were in Parliament Street in the 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s – giving these bookcases their date of circa late 195o’s to early 1960’s. There are plenty of signs of quality to the bookcases. They are made from very good quality solid oak with very nice quarter drawn oak (only possible on good quality oak). The shelves are solid oak too, with chamfered and rounded edges. The shelf supports and retaining holes are brass and brass bound. The doors are all their original glass with no chips to the edges or visible scratches. With their trapezoid shape (narrower at the top, wider at the bottom) they are a beautiful, heavy, matching pair of quality mid Century bookcases. They came to us as a pair and were probably bought new as a pair. We would therefore like to keep them together and sell as a pair.
Very stylish, flexible in their use, and easily accommodatable size. A superb pair.
Dimensions for each bookcase:
84.5cm High, 91cm Width, 33cm Max Depth (bottom), 22.5cm Min Depth (Top)
PRICE IS FOR BOTH BOOKCASES
