Antique Edwardian Flame Mahogany Revolving Bookcase c.1900

This is an exquisite antique Edwardian inlaid flame mahogany revolving bookcase, circa 1900 in date. It revolves on a solid cast iron base, the top has an outer banding with ebony and boxwood outline stringing lines, with a decorative inner banding. The shelves and supporting slats are held by brass studs, and the slats and plinth base are held by stringing. The bookcase is sitting on a cross platform with iron bracket supports raised on brass and ceramic castors. The best quality Edwardian revolving bookcases had cast iron bases, as this meant that they would be sturdy and not tip when full of books, whereas the lesser versions had simple wooden bases. The quality and attention to detail throughout is second to none. Condition: In excellent condition having been beautifully cleaned and polished in our workshops, please see photos for confirmation.
