{"product_id":"minty-barristers-bookcase","title":"'Minty' Barrister's Bookcase","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBooks deserve a home that is as characterful as the collection itself, and a traditional barrister's bookcase provides an elegant way to keep them protected while on display. Combining practical storage with timeless craftsmanship, it makes a striking addition to a living room, study, or home office. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis 'Minty of Oxford' barrister's bookcase is crafted in the classic sectional style, featuring three glazed compartments with attractive leaded glass doors that open to provide easy access to the shelves. The sectional construction allows each glazed bookcase section to lift away individually, making the cabinet easier to transport and assemble. The shallower upper sections are ideal for smaller books, while the deeper lower glazed section comfortably accommodates larger volumes. The enclosed cupboard at the base provides additional storage for items best kept out of sight. The warm oak grain and understated moulded cornice reflect the quality and craftsmanship associated with Minty of Oxford furniture. As part of the restoration, two panes of the leaded glass have been professionally replaced, ensuring the cabinet retains both its functionality and traditional appearance. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe previous darker finish has been stripped, and then multiple coats of hard-wearing matte lacquer have been applied, providing a durable, long-lasting finish while also accentuating the natural oak grain. There is a small split down one side of the cabinet, along with a glued split to the rear edge, both of which are reflected in the price and do not detract from its overall usability. This item is made entirely from solid oak, with a plywood rear panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA distinctive and practical piece of British furniture, this Minty of Oxford barrister's bookcase offers a wonderful combination of display space, protected storage, and enduring period charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[dimensions]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[w]89[\/w]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[h]144[\/h]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]37[\/d]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[\/dimensions]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Donated Goods | Non-Gift Aid | Web Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57192045707644,"sku":"ZUI002","price":1145.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1526\/7737\/files\/ZUI002a.jpg?v=1784550520","url":"https:\/\/restoredfurniture.co.uk\/products\/minty-barristers-bookcase","provider":"Betel Restored Furniture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
