Victorian Mahogany Secrétaire Bookcase
£2,785 $3,773 €3,281
A super quality Victorian mahogany secrétaire bookcase dating to the mid Victorian period. With a moulded cornice above a pair of arched glazed doors enclosing four adjustable shelves. The secrétaire drawer fitted with drawers and pigeon holes in birds-eye maple and the flap veneered in plum pudding mahogany and with inset burgundy tooled writing surface. The two arched panelled doors below opening to reveal a cupboard with shelf, all standing on a plinth base.
The secretaire drawer is fitted with original Hobbs & Co, London lock, there is no key but a locksmith should be able to cut one if required (our usual locksmith charges around £10). The locks on both set of doors have been replaced and there is a key for those.
In good solid condition, there is an patch of veneer missing from the top surface and nibbles around the door edges and locks. Small veneer losses to top edge of cornice and top of base section and some loss to the base moulding on the right side, inside ...the secretaire is worn through at the fold and and we will replace the couple of missing knobs.
Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or for more photos as we are limited in the number we can upload.

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.
