Large arts and crafts solid oak open bookcase.
To be safe, I'll say it's 'in the manner of' Liberty's of London. It's exactly the same as the 'Sedley' portable bookcase from circa 1907, and also see the 'Sedley' bookcase featured in 'Liberty Furniture 1875-1915' by Daryl Bennett.
The measurements are also exactly the same.
However, there's no label or mark so I don't want to say for certain.
The sides are pegged with cut trefoils raised on curved supports.
Very solid, sturdy and clean with original screws to the back.
On the top shelf there are 2 pinholes and 3 pinholes - see photo. These look like tack or staple holes rather than old woodworm holes, but I treated them anyway.
Apart from that the condition is excellent considering its age.
You probably didn't even spot it but there's one peg missing to the right of the bottom shelf. I'm currently trying to source one so I've reduced the price a fair bit. Happy to send on the peg when I get one!
