Marylebone Antiques has dated this piece to the 1850s.
The inside of the top section is divided into two compartments, with adjustable bookshelves that slide into angled grooved shelf supports. There are two drawers below that with fine dovetails. The bottom section has two cupboards with arched panels surrounded by reeded mouldings & there is one shelf inside. This bookcase has a lovely original colour & everything works well including the locks. It has to be one of the nicest examples I’ve had of this type of thing.
