Vintage Yew Wood Dwarf Open Library Bookcase Cabinet
This vintage yew wood dwarf open library bookcase cabinet is a low, freestanding piece with a richly figured top and open shelving beneath. It is fitted with two drawers across the top, each with a brass drop handle and a decorative backplate. The lower section is open, with a fixed shelf dividing the space and a deeper base shelf, making it suited to books, periodicals or display items. The carcass is finished in a warm reddish-brown yew wood with a moulded edge to the top and a plinth base. Its compact height and open front make it a practical choice for a study, hallway or living room.
Condition and Collectability
The bookcase shows the expected signs of age and use for a vintage piece, including some light marks and wear to the surfaces, particularly along the sides and edges. The top retains a good surface sheen, and the drawers and handles appear original to the piece. Its traditional form, open library design and the use of yew wood will appeal to collectors of vintage bookcases and British-style cabinet furniture, as well as buyers seeking a characterful low storage piece with its original finish.
