Description

A large and impressive antique Georgian style mahogany breakfront bookcase. This was made in England, it dates from around the 1930-1950’s.

It is of superb quality, with fantastic proportions and lots of storage space. It sits on a plinth base with four panelled lower doors. There are four beautiful astral glazed upper doors, and stunning teardrop mouldings, beneath a dental cornice. The upper shelves are all adjustable, the inside is polished.

We have just had this re-polished, it is in very good condition for its age. There is just some light wear here and there and a nice patina, commensurate for age.

The top lifts off the bottom and this comes in two pieces for ease of transport.

Width – 81 inches , 206 cm

Depth – 16 inches , 41 cm

FAQs

The Georgian style spans the reigns of the four British monarchs named George from 1714 to 1830, characterised by classical proportions, symmetry, and the incorporation of architectural motifs influenced by Palladianism and the neoclassical movement.

These pieces are typically constructed from solid timbers such as mahogany or oak, often featuring decorative wood veneers, hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawers, brass hardware, and individually glazed glass panes set within wooden tracery.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-correct joinery, tool marks from hand planes, oxidisation appropriate to age, uniform shrinkage of timbers, and handmade screws or fixings, whereas later reproductions often display modern machine tooling and standardized components.

A substantial bookcase can be balanced in a modern room by pairing it with neutral walls, minimalist seating, and curated shelves that mix vertical book storage with breathing space and simple decorative objects.

Maintain stable relative humidity and temperature away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent wood splitting and veneer lifting, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and occasionally applying natural beeswax.
