Edwardian Chippendale Style Bookcase

This is a beautiful Edwardian bookcase cabinet in a dark mahogany and designed in the style of Chippendale.

It has a moulded rectangular cornice with blind fretwork to the frieze and edges below. The top part has two astragal glazed doors enclosing three removeable shelves whilst the base has two drawers with two similar glazed doors beneath enclosing a removeable shelf. There are catches to the left doors and locks & a key on the right hand doors. The whole piece stands on four ogee bracket feet.

For moving and delivering this comes in two sections with the top section having pegs to the bottom which locate it into the base section.

CONDITION:

This is in good condition, it has surface marks as expected for a piece of it's age, one of the glazing bars has come off the inside of the right side base door so one pane of glass is slightly leaning inwards but looks fine from the outside. There is a white ring to the top surface and the back left foot has lost a curved age (we will stain it so it is not noticeable). All the joints are solid.

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.
