18th Century George III Mahogany Bookcase Secretary, Georgian, 1780s

About the Item

English Bookcase, George III, circa 1780, mahogany wood, in good condition but in need of restoration. Fantastic example of English craftsmanship for this type of furniture. Careful attention to detail, see the faux carved wall near the columns, the curved feet and the inside of the flap, very harmonious. A piece of furniture that was commissioned by a very pretentious person and well executed by a skilled cabinetmaker who will surely have satisfied his client. Fantastic piece of furniture.
