A very attractive Edwardian mahogany table-top book trough, dating to approximately circa 1900.
Of particularly elegant form, the piece features shaped end supports with pierced carrying handles, sweeping curved feet and a long open trough designed to hold books securely whilst remaining easy to move.
The mahogany has developed a lovely warm colour and patina, giving the piece plenty of period character. Its restrained design works equally well in a traditional library or study, or as a decorative piece within a modern interior.
A highly practical antique, ideal for displaying favourite books, reference volumes, cookery books or a small collection on a desk, side table or console.
Approximate dimensions:
Width: 40cm
