This an elegant antique mahogany revolving bookcase by the renowned Victorian retailer and manufacturer Maple & Co, circa 1890 in date.
It is made of solid mahogany with slats to each side with fixed shelves on a plinth base and revolves on a solid cast iron base, the best quality 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.
It bears a circular ivorine label for Maple & Co.
The quality and attention to detail throughout is second to none.
