Library Bookcase
England, ca. 1760-1780
Mahogany and mahogany veneers on white oak and spruce secondary wood with glass panes
1972.560
Gift of Miss Emily Harvie
The mahogany bookcase that now stands in the Large Dining Room was given to the Marshalls by Polly Marshall's parents, the Amblers at the time of their wedding. This extremely large bookcase would have been used to hold Marshall's extensive collection of books. It descended in the Marshall family and is believed to have stood in the dining room of the Marshalls' Richmond home. |
