A lovely revolving oak bookcase dating from the late 19th / early 20th Century. It has two levels and stands on a rotating base with castors below. The top of the bookcase hinges upwards and can be fixed at an angle on an easel back for reading and it comes with a removable bookrest. It is a good quality piece and the wood has a lovely rich colour.
It is in good condition with no major damages and revolves freely. There are some signs of age and use, some light knocks and marks, a couple of minor chips on the bottom edge and a small chip to the bottom of one upright (see photos) but nothing detrimental. There are some signs of historic worm around the base which has all been treated as a precaution and hasn't affected the bookcase structurally or aesthetically. It is strong and sturdy and displays well. It has been gently cleaned and polished and is ready for use.
