A beautifully constructed, double, glass-fronted bookcase made in teak by Morris of Glasgow in the early 1960s. Morris of Glasgow were a renowned Scottish furniture manufacturers, whose prestigious work included designing and manufacturing a bedroom suite for the newly married Queen and Prince Philip in 1947, (the suite still resides at Sandringham Castle!) and fitting out the QE2 ocean liner in 1967. This bookcase is part of their ‘Cumbrae’ range of home furniture characterised by the exposed external dovetail joints, clearly showing the solid craftsmanship of the pieces. It has three adjustable, teak bookshelves behind sliding glass doors to keep the dust from your books and treasures. This stylish and practical item of midcentury furniture would fit into a more traditional, mixed-style space from lounge to hallway to bedroom.
