Description

This magnificent & imposing mahogany breakfront secretaire bookcase has many fine features, so please enlarge all the images to appreciate them. It's an antique piece with some later additions & is top quality throughout. It breaks down into many pieces, so transportation is relatively easy. It has a bold pediment on top, four astral-glazed doors below with polished backs & adjustable shelves. Beneath this are drawers on both sides & in the middle is a stunning secretaire compartment. This has a fabulous arrangement of drawers, cupboards, compartments & a tooled leather writing surface. The bottom cupboards have lovely panels & there is a very strong looking plinth at the base. There are also many other features, like brass door beading, top quality brass handles & corbels on the sides. The shelves are adjustable on shark teeth supports. I believe the majority of this bookcase is about 100 years old, or older. It may have been reconstructed from a large antique wardrobe, but it's hard to tell, because whoever did it, done a wonderful job. This piece came out of a private London residence & the previous owners bought it a long time ago.

Length - 88", 224 cm

Depth - 20", 51 cm

Height - 95", 241 cm

I STRONGLY ADVISE YOU TO LOOK AT ALL THE OTHER IMAGES ON MY OWN WEB SITE (SEE LINK), BECAUSE i CAN'T PUT MORE THAN 14 IMAGES ON THIS SITE & THERE ARE MANY FINE FEATURES TO SEE.
