Victorian Mahogany Book Press SAI4202

A handsome antique mahogany book press, beautifully crafted and in excellent working order. Made from solid mahogany with a rich, mellow patina, it features a robust screw mechanism operated by a turned wooden handle, allowing the top plate to rise and fall smoothly. The shaped supports and well‑proportioned frame give it a pleasing, architectural presence.
Traditionally used in bookbinding for pressing and drying pages, it now makes a wonderful decorative piece for a study, library, or shop interior — equally appealing to collectors, printers, and lovers of early craft tools. Light age‑related marks are consistent with its use and add to its authenticity and charm.

Height = 103cm (40.5”) 
Width = 65.5cm (25.7”) 
Depth = 45cm (17.7”) 

All measurements are done to the widest point.
