About the Item

Antiques of London This exceptional vintage breakfront bookcase and display cabinet is by Bevan Funnell, one of England’s most respected furniture makers, renowned for crafting pieces of timeless quality and elegance. Expertly made from richly grained hardwood, the cabinet features striking astragal glazed doors to the upper section, ideal for displaying books, porcelain, or fine collectables. The lower section is beautifully panelled with flame hardwood, providing generous storage space behind four cupboard doors. A particularly notable feature is the pull-out secretary drawer fitted with a tooled green leather writing surface—an elegant and practical detail that elevates this piece beyond a standard bookcase. The cabinet is finished with classic Georgian-inspired detailing, including dentil moulding to the cornice, finely carved edges, and bracket feet, all hallmarks of Bevan Funnell’s craftsmanship. Please carefully examine the pictures to see the condition before purchasing, as they form part of the description. If you have any questions, please message us.
