AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An exceptional antique rotating bookcase from the late 19th century, attributed to the prestigious Victorian maker Maple & Co., one of the best-known names in high-quality English furniture. Dated to around 1898–1899, it is a rare piece that combines history, craftsmanship and functionality in a singular and elegant design.

Constructed in solid noble wood with a dark mahogany finish, it presents a sturdy and well-proportioned structure, enriched by a deep original patina, the result of more than a century of age. At the top stands a hand-carved feature, Arts & Crafts-inspired with Georgian influences, which adds notable artistic and decorative value.

The piece rests on a crossframe with four wheels, which facilitates movement and allows comfortable access to its contents from all angles. It has four open compartments on each side, distributed across three levels, offering excellent storage capacity. Although designed as a bookcase, it is equally ideal as a decorative shelf or auxiliary furniture for classical, high-end interiors.

Dimensions: 91 × 50 × 50 cm
Approximate weight: 15 kg

It is in very good condition, with light marks and minor restorations consistent with its age, which do not affect its structure or functionality and reinforce its authenticity.

Due to its quality, design and provenance, this is a piece difficult to find on the current market, especially in this condition, making it a unique and highly collectible item.

Shipping will be carried out with professional specialized packaging, necessary due to its size and fragility, which may increase cost. There is also the option of in-person pickup or transport arranged by the buyer.

An exceptional opportunity to acquire an exclusive Victorian piece of furniture, with character and history that will be the envy of those who admire it, and a presence that elevates any space.
