Description

A handsome late Victorian mahogany waterfall bookcase cabinet, dating from the late 19th century, combining elegant proportions with practical storage.

Crafted in richly figured mahogany, the piece features the classic graduated ‘waterfall’ open shelving form, with beautifully shaped sides rising to a decorative shaped crest with carved scroll details. The lower section is fitted with a cupboard enclosed by a panelled door, providing useful concealed storage, flanked by attractive turned column supports that add refinement to the design.

Raised on elegant tapering legs terminating in original brass caps and castors, giving the piece a light and graceful appearance whilst making it easy to position within a room.

The warm mahogany tones and pleasing figuring make this a particularly decorative example, equally suited to use as a traditional bookcase, display cabinet, hallway storage piece, or as a smart occasional cabinet in a sitting room, study, or bedroom.
