ANTIQUE #SA1088110

19th Century English Regency Painted Open Bookcase

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Lee Wright Antiques & Interiors Ltd

A Very Unusual 19th Century English Painted Open Bookcase.
 
This extremely interesting open bookcase has a painted finish throughout, areas of simulated rosewood with applied simulated inlay painted on top contrasting with ebonised sections with guilloché, roses, Tudor roses, oak leaves and acorns. It seems likely that the symbolism of all of these floral elements was not accidental - the piece was probably conceived in the period when medieval revivalism became fashionable for a group of connoisseurs in the mid 19th century in Britain. It was probably a bespoke design for a particular interior given the unusual combination of form and ornament.
