This large antique Sheraton Revival breakfront bookcase display cabinet dates from the late 19th century around 1895. Made by Edwards and Roberts, the piece is constructed from mahogany with warm brown timber tones and features elaborate floral marquetry inlay on the three lower cupboard doors. The upper section contains three glazed doors with geometric astragal framing, opening to reveal interior shelving. Brass drop handles are fitted to the cabinet doors, and the entire structure stands on bracket feet with decorative dentil moulding beneath the top cornice. The wood displays a polished finish. Measuring 1870 cm wide, 2500 cm high, and 45 cm deep, this substantial library cabinet comes in five separate parts for transport. It serves as a statement storage and display piece in a home library, study, or formal living room, offering ample space for books and decorative objects behind glass panels while keeping other items concealed in the lower cupboards.

FAQs

A breakfront bookcase is a large multi-section cabinet featuring a central section that projects forward beyond the flanking side wings. Popularised in 18th and 19th-century Britain, this style provided substantial storage while adding architectural depth to formal rooms.

Late Victorian marquetry cabinets typically feature solid mahogany or satinwood frames veneered with rich timber cuts. Decorative panels incorporate intricate marquetry inlays using contrasting woods alongside glazed glass doors with wooden astragals.

Pieces produced or retailed by Edwards and Roberts frequently carry a stamped mark on the cabinet frame or drawer edge. Authentic items display high-grade cabinetmaking techniques, precise joinery, hand-cut marquetry, and high-quality timber veneers.

A substantial breakfront bookcase serves as a focal point in a dining room, library, or expansive living space. Combining modern ceramics, glass art, and curated book collections within the glazed upper cabinet balances traditional craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetic choices.

Dust surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically to preserve the wood finish. Keep the cabinet situated away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber movement, fading, or veneer lift.
