Ptlolmeo 160 freestanding bookcase ?300 ono. (Retails at ?800-?900)


A Ptolomeo freestanding bookcase by Italian designer Bruno Rainaldi in black. It?s very striking and gives the illusion that the books are piled up in a haphazard way, with no visible support when viewed from the front. This is the freestanding version. The stand is made from tough chromed and lacquered steel, and has a strong heavy base, in a contrasting finish, that ensures stability. It can store numerous books of different sizes. There are 11 shelves. The overall height is 160cm. The base is 35cm by 35cm wide. Each shelf is 12 by 19cm.

The shelves will take paperbacks and hardbacks and some mid sized art and cookery books. Larger books are better on the base.


You can find more info and spec at the Conran shop but listed is the taller version. This 160cm version retails for around ?800-?900.

It is offered in good condition, but there are some small marks and scratches and areas of discolouration on the shelves, plus a dint in the base but most you won?t see these when full of books! Feel free to come and view.


Collection from East Dulwich near Goose Green. Please note that this quite heavy.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
