This elegant Arts & Crafts style cabinet can be used as a bookcase or display cabinet. It has many classic Voysey touches in the design, from tapered 'buttresses' legs, Shaker panelled doors, antiqued copper strap hinges, in a light to medium oak finish. The doors are quite heavy with leaded glass panels, using rippled glass favoured by Arts & Crafts designers. The top half is for display and includes glass shelves and lights inside the top, to highlight displayed items. We actually made a narrow version of this, shown above RH, as it had to fit a tight space. Later the client decided they would like another wider one for a different room (see design above LH). The glass doors could actually have stained glass panels, as the example below, with a general Arts & Crafts glass design.

Oak finishes;

The bookcase can be left natural, as Voysey preferred, as the LH sample above. Or, it could be 'slightly oiled' as Voysey specified for this particular bookcase (or lacquered / waxed would give a similar look & colour), as the middle sample above. Or if you have antique furniture in the room & want it to blend in, we can give it a darker finish, as above right. The bookcase is made to order. We don't give out sizes until we have agreed a spec. with a customer. As this is made bespoke we could change the sizes to suit, or make it a double bay wide, etc..
