A British colonial revolving, round open bookcase in teakwood featuring three curved book-shelves each divided in four smaller compartments. At the outside on each side, four vertical splats secure the contents. The bookcase revolves on an X-shaped base that rests on four small bun feet. The patent for the revolving bookcase, a way of storing books and saving wall space, was taken out by Benjamin Crosby in 1808. This type of British bookcase was popular in the Edwardian Period.

The bookcase is in good condition and has been lovingly restored and finished to its former glory using a traditional form of French polishing and waxing.
