This delightful library bookcase was made in Melbourne by Sam Yick.  A document I found places him at his Little Lonsdale premises in 1910/1912 and that he had 17 employees.  A grid in the Melbourne CBD, including Little Lonsdale St, was the centre for furniture makers in Melbourne, consisting predominantly of a mix of European and Chinese furniture makers.

• solid oak timber construction
• circa 1920’s
• 2 glass display doors with blind bases
• complete & matching loop handles
• 2 locks, 1 key
• 3 height adjustable timber shelves (removable)
• shaped bracket feet
• makers label; Sam Yick

Condition overview; in good condition, relative to its age, there are no cracks in the glass and both the doors and locks work well.  As expected on a used piece of this vintage, it displays general wear, knock and surface (including to the top).

Dimensions; 1175mm wide x 350mm deep x 1275mm high (excluding backing board; 1245mm high).  Internal depth; 300mm deep.
