AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An exceptional antique revolving bookcase from the late nineteenth century, attributed to the prestigious Victorian manufacturer Maple & Co., one of the best-known firms of high-quality English furniture. Dated to around 1898–1899, this is a rare piece that combines history, craftsmanship, and functionality in a unique and elegant design.

Made of solid noble wood with a dark mahogany finish, it features a solid and well-proportioned structure, enriched by a deep original patina, the result of more than a century of age. At the top, a hand-carved carving, Arts & Crafts-inspired with Georgian influences, stands out, adding notable artistic and decorative value.

The furniture rests on a cross-shaped base with four wheels, which makes it easy to move and allows comfortable access to its contents from all angles. It has four open compartments on each side, distributed over three levels, offering excellent storage capacity. Although conceived as a bookshelf, it is equally ideal as a decorative shelf or auxiliary furniture for classic and high-end interiors.

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

It is in very good condition, with slight marks and small restorations in keeping with its age, which do not affect its structure or functionality and reinforce its authenticity.

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

The shipment will be packaged with specialized professional packaging, necessary due to its size and fragility, which may increase the cost. There is also the option of in-person pickup or the buyer arranging transportation.

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