Antique Bookcase - Acorn Finials, Five Shelf Surfaces & Two Drawers

We believe this circa 1880s shelf unit with vertical columns and turned top edging was actually the top shelf section of a tall server/ buffet or living room cabinet combination. It works well as a book case / shelf unit. A yellow and white checkerboard cloth has been placed in the interior backing.
Overall maintains a beautiful antique patina and the following issues: the bottom left drawer has 1 missing pull; the three adjustable height shelves are supported with those pieces of wood that notch into an angled side section that allows for numerous height locations- there are 4 wood strips for two shelves. You will need to make 2 more for a third adjustable shelf. The 4th & 5th shelf are the top surface and the inside bottom surface shelves.
This is 68 1/2" tall x 49 1/2" wide x 16 1/2" at its deepest. The two drawers are 21 3/4" wide x 5" tall x 10" deep. The lowest facia trim has scapes to the finish and wood. The one shelf board resting on the inside bottom surface has a 27" crack - needs some wood glue and clamps til it dries.

Consistent with age and use.
