Description

An exceptional George III satinwood breakfront cabinet in the manner of Thomas Sheraton with kingwood and amaranth inlay and box wood and ebony stringing. Although the design for the bookcase doesn't appear in the Sheraton Director, many of its characteristics are taken from it: notably the centre swan neck cornice with its rectangular tablet and carved Grecian urn (see pediments for bookcases), the lower side cornices with their down sweeping curves and finials appear on an example on cabinets and broadly similar legs appear with 'Legs for Pier and Card Tables'.

The cabinet also has adjustable shelves in the upper section and a fitted writing drawer and oak lined drawers in the base.

The brasses have been replaced in the correct style and there are replaced back boards on the outer cupboards.

The insides of the cupboards are well finished in satinwood and I would prefer to put glass behind the grilles but alternatively we could renew the old silk.
