The Antique Railroad Corner Bookcase is a beautiful, rare, handmade, authentic piece from Zimbabwe. It features three deep shelves, and a cabinet area with two deep shelves inside. The knobs are charmingly made out of the same wood, allowing for a consistent look which highlights the beauty of this endangered wood. Additionally, this piece is made of two pieces, the top half of three bookshelves, and the bottom half with the cabinets. These two can be used as separates if you wish.
The wood is extremely dense and solid, meaning there isn't a scrap of plywood anywhere to be found in this luxurious bookcase. We assure you that this piece is of the highest quality, and will last not only your life, but your children, your grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
The engineering of the product is even more impressive, as it is made without any screws.
Red Jarrah dowels are hand placed for structural integrity, making this piece exponentially stronger than conventional furniture which uses screws made of commercial base metal. It can accommodate extremely heavy weights (for example, if you are an athlete or worried about furniture breaking) easily.
Additionally, the piece is worry-free. It comes fully assembled, and absolutely no maintenance is required while you’re using it. The luster and unique finish of the Jarrah will remain intact for many years.
The piece is stamped for authenticity.
Please note this piece is sourced 100% fair trade from our friends in Zimbabwe. We at York's Shona Gallery are a small family business and each of our pieces are hand crafted by small businesses in Africa. These are folks we have known for over 40 years and have great relationships with. We humbly donate a portion of each purchase to fund education and hunger initiatives across the African continent.
