Vintage 1960s Beaver & Tapley Wide Teak Bookcase by Robert Heritage

Designed by Robert Heritage for furniture maker, Beaver & Tapley Ltd in the 1960s, as part of its ‘Multi-width’ range, this is a classic piece of British midcentury, heavily influenced by the Scandinavian aesthetic of the day. It’s a clever and practical home item, particularly wide but shallow and not too tall. Split into two halves, each with an adjustable shelf to create four sections, there are sliding glass doors to protect your reads. The configuration offers a great deal of flexible storage and display space to style with books and treasures. For all that this is a simple piece at first glance, there are thoughtful, elegant design details here to spot… the legs, the bevelled shelf edges, the contoured border that frames the front.

Description

This original, vintage bookcase is ‘sold as seen’. It is in very good, used condition. We have checked and cleaned the piece inside and out, applying a natural beeswax polish to the exterior surfaces but otherwise the original finish has been left alone. The bookcase is sectioned into two halves and each side features an adjustable shelf. Both glass doors are in very good order and slide with ease in their runners. The bookcase interior and shelves are clean and tidy with just light wear and tear. Overall signs of use are minimal and light – it’s been taken care of. Please refer to our photos for an accurate sense of this piece’s superb order. It’s well made with no signs of repair or areas of concern. The Beaver & Tapley maker’s label is in place.
