This an elegant antique oak revolving bookcase , circa 1890 in date.
It is made of solid oak 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.
The quality and attention to detail throughout is second to none.
