These bookcases or tall cupboards are a continuation of those shown on Gothic Bookcase 8 webpage, and really just extend the vocabulary a bit more. We've introduced some glazed doors to the bookcases, so you can visually choose the combination of door types you want. And being modular in nature it means you can have any number of doors, from 1- 10 if you want, or a corner U shape layout. Or we could omit some doors and have open bookshelves. It makes a really good Gothic statement in any interior. They have many Gothic elements, from tall Perpendicular style Lancet arched door panels, which can be decorated or plain, chamfered plinth and castellated cornice. There is more than a hint of Pugin in these designs. We can expand on these pieces to produce a range of other matching furniture, as shown on the previous web page. The doors are shown with simple knobs, but could look even more impressive with ornate Gothic door handles.
It provides a very clean looking Gothic architectural shaped bookcase and provides plenty of storage space. These bookcases can be used in a number of ways, from a bookcase to a home office piece, a drink cabinet/bar, or wardrobes. We can also supply matching furniture to go with this, ie sideboards, cupboards, wardrobes, desks, etc etc. These bookcases can be made in a range of woods/finishes or a wide range of painted colours; we've shown some examples below.
Although shown as freestanding bookcases they can be built-in. The bookcases are made bespoke to order, so we can adapt the dimensions to your requirement. Due to the scale of the bookcases delivery & access can be a problem; so we might suggest they be supplied in sections for straight forward assembly in the room they will sit. We don't do quotations until we've agreed a spec with a client.

The above 2 designs for the bookcase show how the proportions for the same piece can be changed, to suit your requirements, and how it can affect the look.

The above designs for the bookcase show more combinations of how these bookcases can be built up, almost modular style, to form so many permutations. These designs are probably the simplest of our Gothic designs, and probably the most popular because of that. Here the cornice top moulding is kept clean & elegant, which many prefer.

Whilst we all enjoy looking at nice photos of pieces and designs furniture making is a practical business. It involves taking a load of un-machined 'blank' boards, marking them out, cutting and dimensioning every single component to the exact size, machining joints and construction, assembling the components square, sanding them all (so even with dust extraction it can be a dusty enviroment), final assembly. Then take it apart to stain and finish all the components (which is why it is shown without the cornice and plinth mouldings at the moment), and then re-assemble the finished item. Make no mistake this is engineering in wood, and the customer pays for this attention to detail and skill in producing these pieces.
