Vintage 1960s Light Oak Glazed Bookcase by Phoenix of Charing Cross

Here’s a traditional, British, 1960s bookcase, made aptly by Phoenix of Charing Cross. An old-fashioned charmer with a unfussy, utility look, it’s made in solid light oak so not a ‘heavy-set’, dark wood piece. It can rub up against furniture of different styles with ease. There are three shelves in total, for protecting and showing off your favourite reads or to display treasures behind its sliding glass doors.

Description

This original, vintage bookcase is ‘sold as seen’. It is in 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 glazed with two sliding doors in very good order, moving easily in their runners. There are two fixed shelves inside. The bookcase interior and shelves are clean and tidy with just light signs of wear and tear. Similarly, there are some signs of use on the exterior wood surfaces – superficial scuffs, knocks and blemishes here and there, primarily on the top, as shown but overall minor. Please refer to our photos for an accurate sense of this piece’s great order. It’s well made with no signs of repair or areas of concern. The maker’s label can be seen on the back and the plate inside the cabinet.
