A well-appointed study or living space is enriched by furniture that provides both presence and practicality, and this barrister’s bookcase is an excellent example. Designed with clean lines and a restrained silhouette, it offers ample storage for books, display pieces, or documents while maintaining a timeless elegance that works well in both period and modern interiors.

This bookcase is crafted in mahogany with a rich, warm finish and features three sections: glazed doors to the upper and middle tiers, and panelled wooden doors to the lower section. Each opens to reveal adjustable shelving, allowing for flexible storage options. Brass knob handles add a simple yet traditional touch, while turned feet provide stability and a subtle decorative detail. Inside the top door sits the original maker’s plaque from Minty Ltd., Library Specialists of Oxford, giving the piece an appealing provenance.

The previous finish has been carefully stripped, and multiple coats of hard-wearing matte lacquer have been applied. This process has revived the natural tones of the mahogany while ensuring a durable and lasting surface. A filler repair is visible to the left of the glazed doors, as shown in the photographs, but this does not detract from the overall appeal. The back panel of the bookcase is constructed from plywood. All three sections have been secured together, making one piece.

With its useful storage, elegant proportions, and historical maker’s mark, this barrister’s bookcase is a versatile and characterful addition to any home or office.
