English Curly Yew 1915 Antique Bookcase
SOLD
Hand crafted in England about 1915 of curly yew wood, this bookcase is all original. The original finish is very well preserved, showing the natural irregularities and knots in the beautiful natural grain, similar to our birdseye maple.
There is just enough wear to the finish for a little antique character. Waxed and polished, only an occasional wipe with a soft dry cloth is needed to maintain the glowing patina.
Individual panes of glass in classic grill work doors have a little waviness to show their age. There is a crack to one of the wavy glass individual panes to the lower left door, see photos. Hand dovetailed drawers have chamfered bottoms and heavy weight brasses.
The upper bookcase is removable, and shelves adjust by sliding into grooves. Measurements are 48" wide, 16" deep and 7' tall.
