This early nineteenth-century Regency period bookcase cabinet is made from mahogany in a warm brown colour with visible flame mahogany grain patterns on the lower cupboard doors. The single-piece upper section has bar-glazed lancet panel doors with Gothic arch astragal glazing, enclosed by a shaped swan-neck scroll pediment at the top with turned paterae terminals and upright turned columnar supports with turned finials. Below the upper doors sits a pull-out slide with small turned knob handles, leading down to figured-veneer panelled cupboard doors and a single long drawer at the base fitted with two turned knob pull handles, all raised on turned feet. Measuring 195 cm high, 85 cm wide and 35 cm deep, this piece provides practical storage and display space for a living room, study or hallway. The hardware includes original brass bolts, locks and shaped escutcheons, showing a rich patina across the timber surface. The interior houses adjustable shelves behind the glazed doors, making it suitable for housing books or decorative objects in a traditional or contemporary home setting.

FAQs

Regency period glazed bookcases, produced roughly between 1811 and 1830, are characterised by classical architectural proportions, rich mahogany timber, astragal glazing bars, turned pilasters, and decorative scroll or swan-neck pediments.

Cabinetmakers primarily utilised solid and veneered mahogany, glass panes for the glazed doors, brass escutcheons or handles, and secondary woods such as pine or oak for interior drawer linings and backboards.

Authentic pieces feature period-correct joinery such as hand-cut dovetail joints, original blown glass panes with slight irregularities, dark flame mahogany veneers, and brass keyhole escutcheons.

Position the cabinet against a neutral or rich wall backdrop to highlight the timber tones, using the glazed section to display curated ceramics, glassware, or hardback books alongside contemporary artwork.

Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent wood movement and finish fading.
