Gothic revival oak cabinet bookcase, circa 1880, the pair of glazed doors with stylised arch and trefoil applied detail, enclosing adjustable shelves, the lower section with a pair of doors and a pair of cupboard doors, flanked by engaged columns on a plinth base.
Nothing contributes so much to tranquilise the mind as a steady purpose - a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye. - Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Oh. I love this.
I haven't seen anything that beautiful in a long time. What a priceless bookcase, the chairs are gorgeous.

I need this. What is it about Gothic Revival that pleases quite so much?
How did Tessa Kennedy let this one get by her? Her London townhouse is a favorite of mine. What not to love about a serious addiction to red, gilt, fabric and gothic?
