Early 18th Century Oak Bureau Bookcase

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Holmes Antiques

A wonderful George I 18th Century Oak Bureau Bookcase of small proportions and very good colour and patina. Good original condition throughout with original hinges, drawer locks and feet, the handles are good period examples that must have been fitted within the first few years of the piece being made. Although the handles look original to the piece we can see another fastening to the inside of the drawer front that surprisingly shows otherwise. Nicely fitted with a shaped stepped interior with sliding well, having numerous secret drawers. One small interior drawer replaced, all brass drawer knobs are original. The bookcase interior is remarkably clean and untouched having lovely oak back boards. With good clean Oak drawer linings throughout, this is a well drawn piece and nice having the panelled fall front too.
