Hammer
£700
Two Globe Wernicke mahogany three section bookcases, each with up and over glazed doors, on an ogee base, width 87cm, heights 118cm and 115cm
More Information
Please note these two bookcases differ in height by 2cm. Both overall are in good condition but for small knocks and scrapes consistent with age and normal use.
The finish to the metal strap work is degraded, as is usual with these bookcases. The upper-and-over mechanism to the doors functions completely on one, however on the other the mid section the door does not slide backwards. Also on this bookcase the top glass panel is cracked, lower left corner, and is generally in a similar external condition. The colour is also similar.
We have found no evidence of woodworm to these cabinets but this is not a guarantee that this does not exist. Treatment is advisory particularly on the back panels.
