Produced by the quality and renowned cabinet makers, Wood Bros., this bookcase is from their Old Charm range and boasts their gold badge inside the cupboard door.

It consists of two removeable shelves of fixed height, as well as two useful drawers, open shelf above and single door cupboard. Typical of Old Charm, the drawer fronts features thumb moulded carvings, while the single door has an ornate carved centre motif and hangs on original gun metal ornate hinges.

It stands on bracket feet with decorative frieze below its top and retains its original backboard which is still in good, sound condition.

This is in their Tudor Brown shade of oak with darker shading at the edges and corners to create a Jacobean antique look. It is in very good condition with no stains or rings to its top. We have simply revived the timbers with beeswax to ensure it is ready to be placed in situ.

Wood Bros are still producing the Old Charm range from their factory at Ware, in Hertfordshire. A bookcase of similar size, without cupboard, is £619 - a special online price. Here is an opportunity to acquire a bookcase of similar style and quality for a fraction of the price.

Dimensions: 94 cms wide x 27 cms deep x 87 cms high

Height above shelves (top to bottom) : 27 cms , 22 cms, 23 cms

 



I'll leave the pics to describe this best. Please note any other items displayed are not included, but to give an idea of scale.

Most of our items are vintage and/or used. This means that some items will show signs of age and general wear. Refunds will only be made if we accept that the item is not as described. and after the item has been returned to us in the condition it left us. The return shipping cost is the responsibility of the buyer. However, we will always try to describe our items as best we can and will never try to mislead. If you are looking for pristine condition, then this might not be for you so please read the description right the way through. I do try to give an accurate description of the condition, as I hope my feedback testifies, but this is always relative. I would urge you, therefore, where possible to arrange a viewing by prior appointment to satisfy yourself prior to bidding. Do bear in mind that Ebay final prices often reflect the fact that an item is being bought sight unseen and, there is, therefore, an element of risk , which is why it is always preferable to buy from a Reputable Seller like ourselves, with a long-established 100% Positive Feedback Rating. That said, the end price is likely to be much lower than you would pay in an antique shop where the cost of overheads is built in to the retail price.

Thank you for looking.


If you are unable to collect, thanks to our volume of business, we are able to offer a courier service . Please refer to the notes below under Shipping for the rate applicable to your area, as well as terms and conditions. Upon completion of the auction, would the winning bidder please let me know if you require delivery, and we will then invoice you for the total amount due. We will need all contact numbers, including a landline number and confirmed delivery address, prior to booking.

Items are collected from us once a week and usually delivered within a week or two of collection, though in some exceptional cases, delivery could be up to 28 days. In the case of Buy It Now listings, if bought and paid for by the weekend, in most cases, an item can then be included in collections duing the following week, thus expediting delivery.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT POTENTIAL BUYERS KINDLY REFER TO THE NOTES UNDER SHIPPING AT THE FOOT OF THE LISTING REGARDING OUR COURIER'S TERMS FOR THIS SERVICE TO AVOID ANY FUTURE MISUNDERSTANDING.

Would the successful bidder please make contact via email or phone within 24 hours of the auction close to notify me of their intentions regarding payment & collection/delivery. My contact details will be noted on the invoice sent upon auction close.

Would International Bidders please note that payment from overseas can only be accepted via Pay Pal.

UK TRANSACTIONS:

1. Personal Cheque: I allow 5 working days' clearance of cheques from banking, so please bear this in mind if you require your item quickly. As we are in a village, it is not always possible to bank cheques on the day of receipt. You might want to consider an alternative method, if so. Would you please make cheques payable to J. Willis - not Owl Cottage Collectables.

2. Pay Pal: If you wish to pay by Debit or Credit Card it is easy to do so via Pay Pal. It is the Seller who is charged for this service and while we do not pass this cost on to the customer, we would appreciate prompt payment via Pay Pal. It can take up to 5 days for a Pay Pal payment to be transferred to our bank account - so if you delay payment by Pay Pal, this delays our reimbursement costs to that extent + the extra 5 days!

3.Please email for arrangements if you are planning to collect personally. Please note that our courier's driver is not authorised to accept cash on our behalf, representing, as they do, a separate company. We will notify you upon close of the transaction if we are able to offer personal delivery, in which case an alternative method of payment might be possible. Please email in advance to ensure this is possible.


NON-PAYMENT

Unfortunately, I have now had my fair share of non-paying bidders so I regretfully have to point out that a Payment Reminder will be sent automatically after 3 days via Ebay.

After 4 days a Non-Paying Bidder dispute will be opened in compliance with Ebay's Unpaid Items Policy, and if no satisfactory response is received within 4 days of that, the item will be re-offered. There should be no necessity for it to get to this stage, if the buyer emails or phones to say there was a good reason why they had bid but have now had to delay payment. Communication really is the key to a trouble-free transaction.</p

Please provide (i) a valid email address, (ii) delivery address, (iii) contact telephone number. Communications from the delivery company may be by email, and you must use an email service that you regularly check. Upon acceptance of our quote, the buyer must be available to accept delivery between 7am and 9pm, 7 days a week. The delivery service is a ‘green service’, based on consolidating deliveries within the same area. The target delivery time is 21 days from despatch for England and Wales. Delivery will be faster than this to highly populated areas, and may be slower to more remote areas.The delivery company may charge for subsequent delivery attempts.

Time and day restraints: To keep their charges to a minimum, Couriers can not accept time or day restraints from buyers. The buyer must accept that their item may arrive 7 days a week between 7am and 9pm.


Communications: Our primary mode of communication is via email so that we have a record, but we are also pleased to communicate via telephone.

We use long-established reputable couriers. However, in the event that they cannot agree a delivery time/day with the recipient, we will be unable to make alternative arrangements. We suggest, therefore, that you arrange for a neighbour or friend to receive this on your behalf if you are unable to take receipt of the item on the days suggested. Failure to be able to make alternative arrangements will mean that you will need to organise a courier service of your own choice at your own cost.

We regret we cannot offer a courier service for certain parts of Scotland & Ireland. Please email with your postcode prior to purchase for confirmation. For Europe please email for shipping cost prior to purchase.


Our courier service is not an express service. We aim to collect and to deliver the item within England and Wales within 28 days of payment having been received for the delivery. Scotland and Ireland may take slightly longer. Generally our courier service is well inside 28 days. We will try our utmost to oblige if you have particular time constraints, though can offer no guarantees.

The service is kerbside. It is not the courier’s job to carry goods through awkward passages or up flights of stairs. The Courier does not expect to be asked to assemble or dismantle items. You must tell us in advance if you are expecting delivery to go beyond your doorstep.

There will usually only be one driver on their van. He will need assistance with delivery for larger items. He is very helpful and obliging and will often assist beyond the kerbside, but he is not obliged to do so. Our insurance does not cover any incident which may take place whilst the driver is providing additional help beyond his van. If you require 2-man assistance, there will be an additional charge. Please email prior to booking if you require this additional service.

Please ensure we have correct Delivery Address, Home, Work and Mobile Telephone numbers. Our courier will not accept a booking for delivery without at least one landline number. If the item is to be delivered to a new home address, other than your Ebay address, please ensure we have this new address in advance of booking. Our courier will email the buyer direct with suggested delivery dates. Please look out for this email, both in your Inbox and Junk Box (just in case). Any delay by the buyer in replying to their email will delay collection and delivery.

Deliveries to London may be either at the weekend or mid-week but will be advised a few days prior.

IN THE CASE OF ITEMS TO BE POSTED, BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A SMALL VILLAGE, WE DO ALLOW UP TO 5 DAYS FOR SHIPPING TO ENSURE AS MANY PARCELS CAN BE SHIPPED AT ONCE, THUS KEEPING CARBON EMISSIONS TO A MINIMUM. HOWEVER, IF YOU DO REQUIRE YOUR PARCEL URGENTLY, PLEASE ADVISE AT CLOSE OF TRANSACTION AND WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO COMPLY.

COLLECTIONS:

When items are to be collected, please allow for the fact that we are not at home 24-7 and that some flexibility will be necessary. If you can only collect on a given day it is best to check prior to bidding to see if I am available for collection on that day to avoid disappointment. We are very often replenishing our stock at the weekends and, therefore, are available only during limited hours.


Due to parking restrictions and roads into our village being narrow, if an item is to be collected in a commercial vehicle we would prefer to meet the driver at J10 of the A1M, Radwell Services, Baldock to deliver the item there by prior arrangement.

We would very much appreciate items being collected within 2 weeks of the close of the auction. Please email if there is a problem with that prior to bidding as our storage space is limited.
Insurance:

Insurance is included in transit.
