Unusual and rare seven stack bookcase, style 798.5 (quarter sawn early English oak, rich stain, brass bands) including one drawer base, one 10.25" bookcase, three 8.5" bookcases, one 8.5" leaded glass bookcase, and one top. Bookcase dimensions are interior height, all bookcases have interior depth of 9.5". Unique features include the wider size, two independent doors per section, and double drawer base.
