Title

Bookcase

Description

Double door oak bookcase. This "golden oak" late Victorian bookcase is refinished into a honey color with a modern stain finish. The cornice has a simple molded top. The sides are curved and divided at the base above the long drawer by a strip of thin rounded molding. The drawer has original brass pulls. The brass closure on the right door also appears to be original. The feet have simple molded bases, semi-concealing the wooded rollers.
