About the Item

A mid 18th century Chippendale period pine country house double bookcase cabinet featuring a fluted and ornate fret-carved cornice with large carved acorn topped urn finials above a dot & dentil moulded frieze and twin pairs of astragal glazed doors enclosing adjustable shelves, on a projecting base with a long drawer over a pair of moulded panel doors to each side and all raised on a plinth base. Super quality especially to the fretwork, a very similar pattern of which can be seen in Thomas Chippendale’s pattern book ‘The Gentleman and Cabinet-maker's Director’, in good overall condition with minor small losses to some of the dentils and some losses to the mouldings, we can arrange for these to be replaced if required, other marks as expected commensurate with age & use, locks probably replaced but come with key for the upper doors (there are no locks to drawers), unusual brass door catches, possibly previously had a limed finish. Splits vertically down the middle with metal pins to locate top cornice together, can also be used as two separate narrower bookcases. The overall dimensions at the largest points are approximately Width - 73.25in (186cm) Depth - 21.25in (54cm) Height - 90.5in (230cm) including finials The internal shelf sizes are: Upper - 31in wide x 11.75in deep (79cm wide x 32.5cm deep) Base - 31.75in wide x 18.88in deep x 9.5in high (81cm wide x 48cm deep x 24cm high) Splits into 2 sections for moving.
