This Regency mahogany library bookcase dates from circa 1820. The piece displays a warm brown timber finish with natural patina, geometric glazing bars on the glass upper doors, and brass ring handles on the middle drawers. The upper section contains glazed doors with circular detailing and working lock and key enclosing adjustable shelving. Two drawers sit below the display area, positioned above a lower cabinet with a pair of flame mahogany panels enclosed by reeded pilasters and decorative beaded mouldings. The structure stands on turned feet. The bookcase measures 219 cm high, 108 cm wide, and 46 cm deep. In a home today, this item provides functional storage in a traditional interior, such as a study, library, or living room, serving as a display cabinet for books and decorative objects.

Regency bookcases, originating from the early 19th century in Britain, are characterised by classical proportions, refined ornamentation, and symmetry inspired by Greco-Roman architecture.

These cabinets typically feature rich mahogany or flame mahogany veneers, glass panes set within geometric timber glazing bars, and cast brass hardware.

Authentic Regency pieces often exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, original mouth-blown glass with subtle surface irregularities, reeded side pilasters, and brass astragal mouldings along door joins.

Position the cabinet against a neutral or dark wall in a study, hall, or dining area, using the glass-fronted shelves to display curated ceramics, books, or art objects.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying or discolouration, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and clean glass panels with non-ammonia glass cleaner applied to a microfibre cloth.
