The Chilworth bookcase is a tall, versatile storage piece crafted from reclaimed pine with complementary poplar and plywood components. Its simple, rough-timber appearance celebrates the natural character of reclaimed wood, while a clean modern wax finish keeps the overall look contemporary and touch-friendly.
Designed for everyday living, the unit offers multiple open shelves and comes with two removable baskets for concealed storage. The styling nods to traditional apothecary details found in the dovetailed drawer construction and apothecary-style black metal handles mentioned in the product description, which help reinforce the rustic aesthetic.
Because it is made from reclaimed timber, each bookcase will show unique grain, colour variation and small marks that add to its charm and eco-friendly appeal. The solid construction and quality joinery ensure it will serve well as a bookshelf, display unit or general storage in living rooms, studies and hallways.
Finished in a modern wax, the surface is easy to maintain while preserving the warm, natural tones of the wood. The two baskets are useful for organising smaller items such as throws, magazines or children's toys, keeping the open shelves neat without losing the unit’s relaxed, rustic character.
