These fine bookcases have moulded cornices above the glazed doors, enclosing adjustable shelves, they have low waists, with cupboard bases. There is a large amount of display space in each bookcase and the doors have Bramah type locks. The decorative scheme for these bookcases centres on lion imagery. Each one has beautifully carved applied lion masks on the curved pilasters above reeded panels. The handles also have lion masks on them. There is further carving in the form of harebells and flowers in high relief on other parts of the pilasters.
The front and sides of the lower cupboard sections of the bookcases are reeded. Each bookcase has a pull out slide. They are standing on carved lions' paw feet. The mahogany used throughout is of the finest quality and a lovely colour.
