Estimate £700-900

This bookcase has a rich gingery golden finish, with less figuring in the grain than Lot 178, top is highly polished with old radial cracks running through the grain along with a number of old surface dents and scratches, doors all in good condition with three keys and working locks, enclosing nine adjustable shelves, plinth foot looks original, a little water damage along the bottom front edge, right hand side is slightly sun bleached but still retains fair colour, overall a good bookcase that just needs a little repolishing across the bottom of the foot and the right side.
