19th Century Antique wooden column bookcase, UK

About the Item

A monumental towering wooden column bookcase, thought to have been designed for offices of importance in 19th century England. Interchangeable slats allow for the heights of the shelves to be customised to the users need, with a mesh lined door covering them. The back of the shelves are lined with jaunty pieces of wood adding a certain character to the piece. The bookcase is relatively light – we would recommend fixing to the wall. Narrower matching bookcase available.
