Description

A Late George III Mahogany, Purple Heart and Boxwood-Strung Secretaire Bookcase. Early 19th century, with the upper section having astragal-glazed doors enclosing three adjustable shelves. The deep fall-front secretaire drawer features a green-baize interior, eight pigeonholes and eight small mahogany drawers all around a central cupboard door, below which there are three long drawers all with later handles. Finished on bracket feet.

Overall condition is very good with age-related wear & tear. We have noted a small piece of veneer missing toward the back left of the bookcase section, but this does not detract from the charm of this wonderful piece of Georgian cabinetry.
