The Calcutta Bookcase

The Calcutta Bookcase

$4,895.00

Many British colonial antiques have found their way to the vibrant port city of Calcutta, the original home of this classic turn-of-the-century bookcase. Impressively well-preserved, this piece still features its original handmade hardware. While the rich brown finish is a signature of Calcuttan craftsmanship, its white interior is a distinctive and brightening touch that sets apart this otherwise traditional bookcase.
