We also have a sales receipt from an Antiques shop selling the cabinet in 2008 This is a breakfront Library bookcase meaning the middle protrudes further than the sides, it’s a nice way of breaking up what is a large piece of furniture. The top cornice is removable, the main body can by divided into three pieces and the base is one solid piece, all for ease of transport We have cleaned waxed and polished it from top to bottom, there will be normal age related patina marks here and there, mostly it’s a very fine piece in sublime condition Dimensions Height221cm top to bottom, the base is 65cm, middle section 145cm and the top cornice is 11cm Width 214.5cm Depth 42cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point This item is available for collection from our Wimbledon warehouses Condition Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
