AH Davenport Cuban Mahogany Bookcase
AH Davenport Cuban Mahogany Bookcase
USA, ca. 1890s. A stunning bookcase attributed to the AH Davenport Company of Cambridge, MA. Features solid Cuban mahogany construction with three bays perfect for housing one’s literature collection, ceramics, or all manner of decorative objects. Each sliding door - with original wavy glass - glides effortlessly on a solid brass track. Masterfully crafted, the cornice molding, removable back rail, and base molding all speak to each other with a refined and pleasing geometry. Paneled sides and back, radius curves to the doors, and carved edges to the adjustable shelves are all indicative of the piece’s exceptional quality. Lightly refurbished to preserve patina, the condition is excellent. A sure-fire way to add refinement and architecture to even the most spartan room.
A. H. Davenport was a highly respected manufacturer of luxury furniture during the Gilded Age. From their workshops in East Cambridge, the company produced suites and custom items for a range of notable clients including railroad tycoons, and even the White House.
Dimensions: 72” wide x 14” deep x 57” high.
