Bookcase - Mahogany - Girevole - 19th century

Important revolving library from a likely English production center, dating back to the 19th century, made of solid wood with a dark finish and original patina.

The furniture features a completely rotatable square plan structure, designed to be placed in the center of the room, following a very common type found in 19th-century British studies and libraries. The body is divided by thin vertical supports on each side, creating an elegant and functional architectural grid that allows access to the volumes from every angle.

Internally, the bookcase is organized with two internal shelves, in addition to an upper surface, offering a balanced capacity for books, documents, or study objects. Rotation is ensured by a central rotating base, supported by a wooden cross with wheels, allowing smooth movement of the entire piece of furniture.

A side handle or support is missing today, a typical element of this type, originally used as a handle or support to facilitate the rotation and movement of the furniture without directly touching its main structure.

The upper floor is finished with a slightly shaped edge, while the construction techniques, visible screws, and proportions confirm a 19th-century Anglo-Saxon production, intended for a bourgeois or professional setting.
