Expertly handcrafted from richly figured quarter-sawn English oak, this magnificent piece features adjustable shelving framed by fluted uprights and carved capitals, above a substantial base with drawers, panelled cupboards, and open shelving.

A true statement piece offering scale, craftsmanship and timeless English character - ideal for a study, library, dining room or country house interior.
