18th Century Queen Anne Burr Walnut Double Dome Bureau Bookcase
Located in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
A Fine and Rare Three-Part George I Burr Walnut Bureau Bookcase
Circa 1720-1730 – England
Attributed to Coxed and Woster (1700-1735)
This exceptional George I burr walnut bureau bookcase represents the finest English craftsmanship of the early 18th century, attributed to the renowned cabinetmaking partnership of Coxed and Woster. Meticulously constructed in three sections, the chest, bureau, and bookcase, it reflects both practicality and elegance, showcasing premium burr veneers and outstanding period details.
Surmounted by a refined cavetto moulded cornice, the bookcase features a pair of inset moulded and shaped mirrored doors, enhancing its grandeur and light-reflecting elegance.
The doors reveal double D-moulded shelves, fitted for functional and decorative display.
At the base of each mirrored door, retractable candle slides provide both practicality and historical charm.
The fall-front bureau is adorned with a cross-grain ogee-moulded bookrest, supported by retractable lopers.
It includes two short oak-lined, feather-banded drawers fitted with their original gilt-brass ring-pull handles, oval escutcheons, and locks.
When opened, the fall reveals what appears to be the original inset leather writing surface, accompanied by a beautifully arranged interior of pigeonholes and a series of small and long feather-banded drawers with original knobs.
A central feather-banded cupboard, flanked by Tuscan columns, conceals three hidden drawers, exemplifying both craftsmanship and ingenuity.
The chest, with its ovolo waist moulding, is raised on sturdy ball and bracket feet, providing balance and visual strength.
It features three graduating oak-lined, feather-banded drawers, retaining their original gilt-brass handles, escutcheons, and locks.
Provenance:
The attribution to Coxed and Woster is supported by the piece’s impeccable quality and stylistic hallmarks. The partnership, active between 1700 and 1735, operated from the White Swan at St. Paul’s Churchyard in London. Known for producing luxurious walnut and burr maple veneered...
