Description

This beautiful quality mahogany and brass French Directoire style glazed bookcase will make a lovely addition to any office, and we have a matching desk and box file cabinet listed separately, allowing an opulent office interior to be designed if required. The bookcase has two cabinet sections with glazed doors, each side having four shelves which are fully adjustable on saw tooth supports. Lavishly decorated with brass and inlaid with brass stringing, it has exquisite floral inlays on the cornice top decoration and on the panel below, with lovely pineapple details above the fluted architectural columns at each side. It sits on feet which are decorated with brass at the front. The locks work and keys are available, with the larger left cabinet having a vertical locking mechanism and the right side having a central lock. This is a truly stunning piece.

Dating to circa 1900, this is made of mahogany and brass, and originates from France.

In lovely age related condition, this has only minor faults, including the range of small dents and minor scuffs you’d expect in the brass trimming and wood at the bottom edge, but generally a beautiful piece.
