It was listed by Marylebone Antiques. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
Marylebone Antiques has dated this piece to the 1910s.
This is an exceptional piece of furniture both inside & out. There are many different woods involved, like rosewood, kingwood, satin birch plus many more. This cabinet has lots of fine gilt mounts & escutcheons. There is some fine marquetry in panels on the front flap & sides. The flap comes down to reveal a wonderful secretaire. with all sorts of intricate features. There are many drawers & a cupboard, plus the wood inside is beautiful. I think this piece looks better open than closed. This cabinet is in excellent condition having just been polished & I would date it to around the 1910 period.
