Regency Empire Rosewood Dwarf/floor Bookcase

A super Regency rosewood dwarf or floor bookcase dating to c.1820 and in the Empire style. With an inverse breakfront top supported by four turned columns with brass capitals flanking a pair of cupboard doors inset with needlework panels, with bead and reel moulding to the frieze and doors. The two shelves to the centre section are adjustable and each cupboard also has a shelf, whilst the whole bookcase stands on a plinth base.

In very good condition with original locks to both doors, the needlework panels are designed to be removable from the back of the doors so could easily be changed if required. The interior of the cupboards and open section has the original black staining, there are no losses to the mouldings, the top does have some lighter and darker areas but the whole has been sympathetically repolished.

Please note the books and lights are not included in the price and are shown for display purposes only.

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.
