Description

Super quality and wonderful consistent colour to this 19th century English figured walnut breakfront bookcase credenza with original glass doors and brass mounts, circa 1870.

For a substantial piece of furniture, this has a feeling of elegance due to the breakfront depth, keeping it shallow but offers great storage if you are wanting a bookcase, drinks cabinet or display cabinet.

This would work very well with a pair of lamps, a mirror to the centre or piece of artwork.

The shelves are fixed in place and also have their original faded brushed velvet linings.

The original locks and keys also working well.

Super piece of furniture and in good solid condition.

Dealers Notes

I can arrange delivery to you, whether you are within the UK or require an international delivery service, please do get in touch…as a mainland UK guide, a delivery for something around the size of a chest of drawers within approx 150 miles will be £75 to you, but if you if you are in Scotland, Wales, Ireland or Cornwall please get in touch to confirm delivery costs!

Based in Uppingham, Rutland…having been in the business for 25 years focusing on mostly French and English decorative antiques and interiors from the 18th to the early 20th century, hopefully a collection you will enjoy browsing and hopefully re home some of my finds!

Viewing here in Uppingham is very welcome in my spacious barn studio but also I have a showroom based within the Uppingham Antiques Centre, which is well worth a visit and have a good lunch in town too!

Any queries about anything you have seen or about delivery, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

The breakfront style features a central section that projects forward from the flanking sections, creating a distinct architectural stepped facade.

Master cabinetmakers typically utilised finely figured walnut veneers laid over stable secondary woods such as oak or pine, often accented with brass mounts.

Authenticity is indicated by traditional joinery such as hand-cut dovetails, timber shrinkage patterns, period-correct brass hardware, and natural patination on the wood surface.

Pair the rich wood tones with neutral walls, minimalist lighting, and curated stacks of books to create a sophisticated balance between historical gravitas and contemporary design.

Preserve the finish by keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and periodically applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the timber without harming the patina.
