Mahogany Open Bookcase

This elegant mahogany open bookcase dates to circa 1900 and exemplifies the restrained craftsmanship of the late Victorian to early Edwardian period. Constructed in well-figured mahogany, the bookcase displays a rich, warm patina developed over more than a century of careful use.

The design features a moulded cornice above a generous open interior fitted with three adjustable shelves, allowing for flexible storage and display. The proportions are well judged, making it ideal for housing books, folios, or decorative objects without overwhelming a room. Subtle classical detailing is evident in the fluted pilasters and carved corner motifs, lending architectural interest while retaining a clean and understated appearance.

Raised on a plinth base, the bookcase is both sturdy and practical, making it suitable for a library, study, sitting room, or hallway. Its timeless design allows it to sit comfortably within both traditional and more eclectic interiors.
