This long, low bookcase suits a dining room, hallway, or living room where books and display pieces need to sit at easy reach. Its generous width and open centre section make it a natural focal point, offering plenty of room for hardbacks, ornaments, or framed photographs without dominating the wall. The piece is fitted with a pair of leaded glazed doors at each end, opening onto adjustable shelving, with a further cupboard below each for closed storage. Between these sits an open shelving section, ideal for larger books or items to be left on show. A carved scalloped frieze runs along the top edge, and wrought iron strap hinges and ring pulls complete the look, with the whole resting on shaped bracket feet. The previous darker finish has been stripped away, and several coats of hard-wearing matte lacquer have since been applied, giving a durable surface that highlights the warmth of the oak grain. The piece is made from a mixture of oak and oak veneer, with a plywood back. Pieces with this combination of display and storage are not always easy to come by, making this a worthwhile find for anyone furnishing a room that calls for both.[dimensions][w]163[/w][h]98[/h][d]33[/d][/dimensions] Show more
