Description

Very unusual English Regency mahogany and inlaid waterfall bookcase with a slide out writing surface and cabinet storage space, circa 1820 and in good original condition.

Looking at this piece and I would say it could also work well as a drinks cabinet too, using the slide out surface for pouring and bottles / decanters etc below as you have an adjustable shelf to accommodate. Perhaps then using the cupboard above for glasses etc...or as a bookcase with storage below and a writing surface.

Certainly unusual to have the pull out slide and an interesting piece of good quality early 19th century furniture.

Any queries or if you need further dimensions, do let me know.

Measuring:

58 inches or 147.5 cm high

30 1/2 inches or 77.5 cm wide

18 1/2 inches or 47 cm depth at the base

28 inches or 71 cm kneehole height under the slide

FAQs

Regency furniture, spanning roughly from 1811 to 1820, is characterised by classical proportions, neoclassical motifs inspired by ancient Greece and Rome, and the prominent use of fine timbers such as mahogany and rosewood.

Authentic Regency bookcases are typically constructed from solid mahogany or feature flame mahogany veneers over secondary softwoods, often incorporating hand-cut dovetail joints, brass fittings, and leather writing surfaces.

Authentication involves examining the timber grain, checking for hand-cut joinery, observing the oxidisation and wear patterns on secondary woods, and verifying that brass hardware and construction methods align with early nineteenth-century cabinet-making techniques.

A period mahogany piece provides rich warmth and textural contrast in a modern interior, functioning effectively as a focal point when balanced with neutral walls, minimalist lighting, and contemporary art.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading and veneer cracking, and applying microcrystalline wax periodically rather than modern silicone-based polishes.
