About the Item

An elegant English early 20th-century George II style bureau bookcase, featuring black and gilt-japanned decoration with chinoiserie-inspired motifs. The upper section showcases a molded pediment over a pair of arched cabinet doors opening to shelving, while the lower section offers a slant-front desk revealing compartments and drawers. The exterior is richly adorned with gilded scenes of figures, landscapes, and foliage, exemplifying the enduring appeal of japanned finishes in 18th-century-inspired design. A beautiful homage to English craftsmanship with global decorative influences.
