Circa 1920, rare exhibition quality walnut, oak and leather open bookcase by Whytock & Reid of Edinburgh. The rectangular shaped bookcase has a solid walnut top with a wonderful neat crossbanded edge. Beneath this is an ogee moulded edge and a small frieze. In the frieze are 3 drawers which are serpentine shaped and have leather facings with gilding and a turned knob with a sunburst back plate. Inside, the drawers have oak liners. Beneath this are 2 divisions, each one with 2 adjustable shelves. The dividers have a beaded facing and the centre divide is crossbanded. The back of the bookcase is solid oak with fielded panels. The ends of the bookcase are chamfered with a herringbone walnut inlay in the centre. The fore edge on each end is rounded and chamfered. Beneath the bottom shelf is a small stylish apron again with walnut and various panels. The whole piece stands on typical stylish Whytock & Reid feet at the front and a small out swept foot at the back. Wonderful colour and patination.
