Antique bookcases make a classic piece of furniture in the both period and modern homes. Bookcases have always been one of the most loved pieces of furniture as these make a very stylish feature and can revitalise any room. Whereas most of the pieces of furniture are repurposed these days and put to a variety of uses, the bookcases too are not reserved for the books alone. These are very functional and can be utilised in more ways than one.
The bookcases can be completely open fronted or can be a combination of drawers, cabinets and an open display unit. Hence these can be used for displaying your pictures and collectibles, decorative items, for storing your CDs and DVDs, for cutlery if put up in the dining room etc. The pull-out drawers are convenient for storing all your smaller items.
Antique bookcases have always been elegantly designed as these often graced the aristocratic homes and were a portrayal of wealth. These come in a variety of sizes and you have wood options such as oak, walnut, rosewood or mahogany. The ones that have seen aristocratic beginnings often feature ornate detailing giving them a very regal appeal. You also have the simple versions of the bookcases that feature clean lines. Such bookcases blend in well in the contemporary settings. Shock horror! ..... Some can even be given a fresh lick of paint to give it a chic contemporary appeal while still maintaining the period feel.
Though the initial investment might be slightly higher in case of antique bookcases as compared to its modern day counterparts or reproductions, the charm and elegance of the true old world pieces always remains unmatched.
A fine example of antique bookcases is this genuine pairs of quality late 19th Century mahogany bookcases with glazed tops over graduated drawer base. Ideal to flank fireplace or feature along a long drawing room wall. Measure 46" wide x 88" high x 14" deep.
