Description from the seller

English Oak Rotating Books Mill with Heart Motif – Victorian Era

Beautiful and practical English revolving bookcase, crafted from solid oak with a lovely warm patina. This charming piece dates from the late 19th to early 20th century (Victorian period).
The partition panels of the book mill feature beautifully intricate fretwork, characterized by decorative heart-shaped cutouts reminiscent of playing cards. This airy design gives the cabinet a playful yet elegant look. Thanks to the smoothly functioning rotating mechanism on an ornate cross-foot, this piece is ideal for keeping favorite books, reference works, or magazines within reach.
A jewel for the study, library, or living room!
