‘Presented to the Rev John Patteson MA Rector of Christ Church Spitalfields’
 
A lovely fine quality Library Bookcase direct from the Patteson Family who were famous for their breweries. This has been with the family since it was purchased new and was removed from Hautbois House, Norfolk in the 1980’s. It is a lovely rich honey colour, and has four doors and adjustable shelves.
 
I have owned this since I purchased it from the Patteson family executors in the 1980’s. There is a silver plaque to the front center reading
 
‘The Rev John Patteson Rector of Christ Church Spitalfields & Rural Dean.By his congregation & friends, as a token of their affectionate regard & esteem & in remembrance of his zeulous & faithful labours during the last eleven years 21st May 1867 ’
 
A most impressive bookcase with an impeccable and interesting provenence.
