About the Item

Stunning 18th century George III breakfront bookcase with figured mahogany, paneled doors on base, adjustable shelves and dramatically large panes- only 6 per door. The large window panes or "lights" are great for displaying objects other than books as the mullions will not obstruct your view. Recently recovered from a sunning home on the James River in VA, this piece has reportedly been in the same family for over 100 years. Breaks down into 9 pieces for transport.
