The exhibition of Museum-Reserve of Nikolay Nekrasov “Karabikha” includes paired bookcases. They are displayed in the study in the Manor House.

Each of them is a two-leaf bookcase of rectangular shape, with five removable shelves inside. The upper part of the doors is glazed, while the lower part has wooden panels, which are decorated in the middle with carved sculptural decorations in the form of vases with flowers, rosettes, medallions and shells. There is a carved decorative pattern along the perimeter of the frames of the leaves and along the central edge of the right leaf. The leaves have an internal metal lock.

At the corners of the bookcase are columns with cannelures — vertical grooves at the bottom. The columns are decorated with carvings in the form of spiral stripes and leaves at the top. They rest on a profiled square base and are finished with an Ionic capital and a cornice.

The top of the cabinet has a frieze with an applied floral motif. The cornice is also profiled. The frontal is semicircular.

The base of the bookcase rests on four legs: the front legs are shaped and the back ones have the shape of rectangular bars.

The bookcase dates back to the 1870s–1890s. The poet’s niece Vera Fyodorovna Andreeva recalled,

The room with access to the balcony was my father’s study… Along the long wall are two black bookcases brought by my father in the 1890s from Moscow (now in the museum).

Nekrasov’s library, which was brought from St. Petersburg, could also be kept in the study of the Manor House. The collection of 1500 volumes included works of fiction, folklore, history, ethnography of Russia, complete sets of the journals “Sovremennik” and “Otechestvennye Zapiski”. Nikolay Alexeyevich probably began to collect his library in his youth.

In 1918, the Karabikha Agricultural Partnership was organized on the estate. Records have been preserved that in December of that year two bookcases and the books were removed from the estate. The book collection was handed over to a club in the village of Kresty near Yaroslavl and was eventually lost.

On December 5, 1946 it was decided to restore the estate as a museum of the poet. The staff started searching for memorial items of the Nekrasov family. The task was set to reconstruct the poet’s book collection.
