About the Item
UNUSUAL VICTORIAN MAHOGANY DOUBLE-SIDED BOOKCASE
England, circa mid-to-late 19th century
Item # 209APB28Q
This uncommon double-sided bookcase is composed of a complex array of latticework that lends the needed strength and angular support to the five shelves while still allowing for a wonderful thin profile and overall transparency of design. The way it was built allows the bookcase to present equally well from either side and to be used functionally from both sides at the same time, making it an ideal room divider or means of breaking up the space while preserving functionality. It is crafted of solid mahogany with a series of ring-turned and tapered balusters raising each of the fixed shelves. The structure rests over original brass castors.
Measurements: 54 1/8" H x 16" D x 42" W
Condition Report:
Old finish with scuffing and wear while retaining a nice overall patina; chips, grain-shrinkage cracks and losses here and there throughout; original castors; one "x" brace is missing from one shelf compartment; good sturdy overall structure. Bookcase presents beautifully.

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...
