This is a truly irreplaceable piece of furniture with provenance and history. This truly masterfully done Chippendale style 1880s era English breakfront or bookcase. The bookcase measures an imposing 123 3/4" h x 146 1/4" w x 24" d and certainly isn't for every home. In fact, if you look at where it was, it looks to be of normal size. The piece was purchased for the Philadelphia landmark luxury condominium that was built in 1963 and is directly across the Philadelphia Museum of art. If you aren't familiar with this fantastic museum, you may be familiar with the movie "Rocky" as he ran up the steps and had a flock of admiring children following him. That's the museum! The breakfront is made of solid walnut and will show minor signs of age and use, some locks are missing and we will replace panes of glass that have old cracks in them and a few moldings that need to be done in order to be completed which we will do for you. The lower middle right center drawer is slightly warped as often happens in antiques from Europe...

George III English Antique Mahogany Bookcase Secretary Desk circa 1780
Located in Shippensburg, PA
GEORGE III MAHOGANY DIMINUTIVE SECRETARY WITH BOOKCASE
England, circa 1780
Item # 307PZN13W
A very fine secretary desk of diminutive proportions, this fabulous form features an upper bookcase with a cove-molded cornice over a pair of glazed doors with eight panels each, these divided with original astragal moldings, opening to reveal an adjustable three-shelf space bookcase. The doors are beautifully embellished with fluted pilasters boasting Ionic capitals that are exquisitely detailed with rich undercutting.
The lower case features a brushing slide situated over five rows of graduated drawers, the second from the top cleverly fitted with a green baize writing surface that pushes back to reveal storage space beneath while the faceted glass inkwell bottles (one missing the lid) and double trough pen tray are situated along the right side.
The timbers selected for the case are above reproach and present with a ruby hue throughout that is incredibly appealing, this finished under a glowing silky French polish to the mahogany veneers throughout. The drawers are hung with period Georgian brasses...
