With our absolute highest compliments Bay Colony Antiques takes the utmost pride in offering this wonderful early 20th century antique bookcase. This bookcase is one of the finest examples of an Arts & Crafts era designed piece that we have been able to acquire as of late. Demand for premium bookcases either made in the Arts & Crafts period or as later reproductions continues to rise every year with respect to availability nationwide. The simplicity of design mixed with the superior craftsmanship offered by the Arts & Crafts design movement appeals to both seasoned collectors as well as younger generations of buyers looking for the best value and quality possible.
The bookcase now presently offered is an exceptional version of the classic double door bookcase with the enhanced feature of sliding doors that move left to right and back again on a track system. The entire case is finished in a beautiful golden oak color which is further enhanced whenever moderate sunlight is present. Each of the doors has an arched design above the glass panes that adds an extra degree of sophistication to an otherwise understated design. The top of the bookcase has a raised gallery which allows for the display of art objects or personal items. The interior of the bookcase features five adjustable shelves should the height of a particular book collection be a consideration at any point. The entire piece is in exceptional condition and is quite sturdy and well suited for generations of continual use. This bookcase measures 40 3/4" wide x 13" deep x 54 1/2" tall with a usable interior space measuring 38" wide x 9 1/2" deep.
