Our client is a great lover of books and our brief was to design and make a pair of bookcases for the guest bed room. These were to be very special items that will mature beautifully and be suitable to pass on at some point in the future. The bookcases are identical and standalone. Following the classical lines of proportion, the design and make up was to be in a truly pleasing and practical design. Open fronted with adjustable shelves, the base stands proud of the top. These bookcases are big! So the timber and veneer choice offered real scope for some wonderful grain with maximum effect. I am thrilled with these bookcases. In a room which is filled with wonderful antiques, these items stand proud and really ‘look the part’.
