Description
Antique Victorian Mahogany Bookcase with Walnut Veneer & Adjustable Shelves – Circa 1880
A characterful Victorian mahogany bookcase, dating to around 1880, finished in a warm walnut veneer that highlights the rich tones of the wood. The banded inlay on the top adds a subtle yet elegant detail, showcasing the refined craftsmanship typical of the late 19th century.
This open-front bookcase features adjustable shelving supported by a traditional sawtooth system. Due to age, some of the notches have been damaged and are no longer usable, and there is slight warping to the frame which limits shelf height adjustment—but the structure remains stable and functional.
The piece has developed a lovely, aged patina, making it an ideal addition to period interiors or antique-inspired spaces. It shows marks, scratches, and some areas of veneer loss, consistent with its age, which add to its authentic charm.
