Today, the oak remains as striking as ever, with a rich complexion and a pronounced grain that are sure to make an impression in any setting.

The shelves are fully adjustable, while the desk contains a writing surface of rich red leather. Each drawer features hand-cut dovetails, indicating fine quality, and each foot is finely carved in a barley twist pattern. The bookcase secures to the base with two screws, and the two sections will ship disassembled. This bureau bookcase has sustained some superficial wear consistent with age, including scuffs and stains, but remains sturdy. Additionally, both sides have developed age splits, which are natural separations in the wood. Overall condition is therefore very good.   « Less

The upper shelves are adjustable by means of an alligator bracket system, each drawer features hand-cut dovetails, and the bookcase rests on shaped bracket feet. This bookcase has also sustained some surface wear consistent with age, including wear marks and a separation between the boards that is developing in the top, which is often referred to as an age split, and which is a completely natural, cosmetic phenomenon that occurs in all solid wood furniture, and which does not affect structural integrity. Otherwise, this bookcase remains quite strong, and all in all is a very beautiful piece, so condition remains very good overall.   « Less
