About the Item

An Excellent Late 18th Century English Mahogany Breakfront Secretaire Bookcase. This bookcase has a breakfront outline and is small in size. The overhanging and moulded cornice above a plain frieze sits on top. Beneath this are four glazed doors, the original astragal glazing bars arranged in a geometric diamond-based pattern. Inside each of the cupboard sections are a series of adjustable wooden shelves. The lower section consists of a series of graduated drawers, banks of five to each side and four in the centre because the top drawer, of double height, is in fact a pull-down secretaire. Inside the secretaire section are four drawers which retain their original brass pulls, six pigeon holes and a central lockable cupboard door with inlaid panel of flamed mahogany with strung outline. Having great colour and patination and the metalware is also original throughout. A sophisticated piece of fine quality English furniture.
