Description

Very impressive & fabulous quality antique mahogany breakfront bookcase, in good condition dating from around the 1890-1910 period. Please be aware that the top middle door was locked at the time of photography, so we couldn't put the shelves in that part. Consequently it doesn't look as good as it should. This bookcase has many wonderful features & I will try to list a few. I suppose it's Chippendale in style. The top cornice has a very detailed Greek key moulding. The three doors have fine astral-glazing & adjustable shelves inside. The bottom section has two flame mahogany drawers & two cupboards with flame mahogany panels that have some intricate carvings on the corners. The top of the base section has a carved edge & the drawers have original brass handles. This all sits on very bold legs with more good carvings plus ball & claw feet. Please enlarge all the images to appreciate all the fine details. This bookcase comes apart into two sections for easy transportation. One more thing I just noticed, is that it has the old metal 'Maple & Co' label inside one of the doors, which is always a sign of quality, because the old Maples store only sold items of top quality.

Width - 73.6", 187 cm

Depth - 17.3", 44 cm

Height - 78.4", 199 cm
