Carse Antiques has dated this piece to the 1800s.
The end doors with original brass grills with recently re-done pleated silk panels behind. Inside there are two fully adjustable shelves with nicely moulded mahogany edges.
The central cupboard with one shelf. The smaller cupboards, the left hand one has shelves, the right hand one with three drawers (probably had 4 originally). Above the cupboards there are two long drawers, the bottom one a drawer, the upper one a dummy drawer.
The top has a fold down desk part which is fitted inside like a lap desk. There is a super-structure to the back with turned uprights to the front, mahogany panel to the back and a full length shelf with gallery.
The ends have the ebony stringing running round both on the top and bottom sections. The whole piece sits on its originally fixed plinth.
The whole piece is a gorgeous colour and patination only achieved from years of waxing. One of the most unusual pieces of Regency carcass furniture I have seen.
SIZES; 63" long overall by 20" deep. 34" from the floor to the top. 47" high overall.
