DESCRIPTION

This is a superb mahogany library bookcase in the Gothic taste, circa 1835 and later, of generous proportion and good colour. The upper section with a boldly moulded cornice over adjustable shelves flanked by gothic pilasters, the lower section with panelled doors opening to reveal further adjustable shelves, standing on a plinth base. This bookcase exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of the early 19th century and would make a statement in any private library, drawing room, or office.

Provenance: By repute from Charville Castle, a fine 19th century Gothic-style castle in Tullmore, County Offaly.
