Antique Edwardian Flame Mahogany & Inlaid Revolving Bookcase Circa 1900

This an exquisite antique Edwardian revolving bookcase, attributed to the renowned retailer and cabinet maker, Maple & Co, circa 1900 in date. It is made of flame mahogany, revolves on a solid cast iron base and has inlaid boxwood lines to the top and bottom. The top is centred with an elaborate shell inlaid decoration with crossbanding and inlaid hatching around the perimiter. 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.
