Vintage Teak Display Cabinet Bookcase by Herbert Gibbs

It’s not so often we come across the really long Herbert Gibbs bookcases so this feels special. It is particularly handsome, mixing both on-show and hidden storage into one piece. Quality British furniture maker, Herbert E Gibbs, produced well-made, unfussy domestic furniture throughout the midcentury, best known for its glazed bookcases and bureaus. Although wide, this cabinet will sit tidily against a wall, not demanding too much space – at only 28cm in depth, its footprint is shallow and it doesn’t jut into the room. It gives you masses of space for books and ornaments, and a sizeable cupboard to the side. It’s in great order and ready to be put to good use.

Description

This is an original, vintage piece that is ‘sold as seen’. Overall, it is in good – very good, used condition. The piece has been thoroughly checked and cleaned, and a natural beeswax polish applied to the external wood surfaces. There is a height adjustable shelf in the glass-front bookcase. Both glass doors are in very good order, sliding with ease in their runners. The interior and shelf are in good, clean, tidy order with just light signs of use. The right hand cupboard has a fixed shelf and clean interior too, again with light wear and tear. The door, hinges, handle and closure are all in good order. There are some minor knocks, blemishes and chips to the exterior wood including the legs, to be expected with a vintage item. Do browse our photos for an accurate sense of its condition. It’s very well made with no signs of repair or areas of concern. The Herbert Gibbs label is in place on the back of the piece. Please do look through our photos but if you’ve questions or would like to take a look, please get in touch.
