Description: Matched pair of Victorian walnut two door bookcases by Moore & Campion, Philadelphia (one has a nice label on the back - see photo). The bookcases each feature a magnificent top gallery with three different pairs of carved finials, fancy spindles, and raised burled panels. The two doors have incised carvings in the corners, carved key escutcheons, and the original wavey glass. The doors are flanked by full burled columns that feature incised leaf carvings. We have two old keys that work the locks on each bookcase. There is a step out base with two drawers with incised carvings and two carved pulls on each drawer. There are three original adjustable shelves with each bookcase. (A previous owner drilled some tiny holes in the backs of the bookcases which do not show when books are in place) Each unit sits on great quality original double castors. These are superior quality bookcases in design, quality and original condition, along with having the major attribute of the original maker's label still intact. Circa: 1880 Dimensions: 78"H x 52.5"W x 19"D (they have a very slight variation in size) Finish: Good original finish and patina Price: $13,500.00 for the Pair
