Made in 1873 for William Drysdale, his initials being carved into the cornicing with the oak leaves.
There is some damage to be expected for an item of this age. There is a small piece of damage to the one of the pieces of top cornicing. There is a missing edge to the trim on the lower section. All shown in the picture.
The bookcase divides into three for moving. Cornicing, top section, lower section and plinth. All shelves are removable and adjustable with strong metal dowels.
