Antique Gothic Revival Oak Book Trough
Step back in time with this charming antique book trough, a stunning example of Gothic Revival craftsmanship, likely dating to the late Victorian or Edwardian era (c. 1880-1910).
Hand crafted from solid oak, the piece features a deeply satisfying, warm patina developed over more than a century. The design is highly architectural, highlighted by the two elegant uprights, hand carved into distinct lancet arch or spire-like finials. This ecclesiastical style instantly adds depth and character to its surroundings.
The sturdy, moulded base provides stability, making it perfect for holding a selection of your favorite volumes, devotional books, or even organising stationery on a study desk or library table. Its quality construction and rich grain promise many more years of beautiful use.
In good condition, showing signs of light wear and tear with imperfections.
Book Trough is 63cm at its longest point, 18.5cm at its deepest and 26.5cm at its height point.
