You are bidding on a book mill/carousel with a deep warm colour and a top with nice inlay work. It rotates well, does not wobble and the laths are intact. The photos are part of description.
The dimensions are approx. 66 x 42 x 42 cm and the weight is approx. 10 kg.
It has a convenient size for a reading corner. This mail can hold about 80 to 90 books. It is mounted on a swivel plateau.
It can be picked up or it will be carefully packaged for registered shipping.
The book mill originates from (monastery) libraries. They are made in various sizes and versions. The round version of the book mill was the first one. These could be found in large monastery libraries. They functioned like some sort of small merry-go-round. This turned out to be not practical. And so the square version came to be, probably around 1800. It is designed as a free-standing piece of furniture for storing books in a library.
