Four door carved cherry bookcase with a wonderful open carved
crest in the middle and an original brass gallery over each side section.
The two taller side sections have carvings in the top corners of the doors
and rope twist columns on the sides. (The original glass in the left
section has a crack in the very top. We wanted to keep the original glass
but this could easily be replaced with a new piece of glass if so desired.)
There are interesting carvings on the tops of each section and the two
middle drawers. There are three adjustable original shelves. The shelves
and back of the bookcase are made of oak.
(There are two age splits in the back of the bookcase - these do not affect
the structure and are not visible when the bookcase is filled with books.

The three small brass knobs on the doors (see photo) are actually pulls/keys
that can be used to open and lock the doors - very interesting arrangement.
The drawers have very ornate cast brass pulls with Northwind faces. The
bookcase has the original brass castors. This will store a large number of
books in a very attractive way!
