About the Item

Immerse yourself in the timeless elegance of this distinguished George III Secretary Bookcase, a testament to unparalleled craftsmanship and refined proportions. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this exceptional piece seamlessly combines functionality with aesthetic appeal. The upper section boasts a gracefully cove-molded cornice, lending a touch of sophistication to the piece. Framing the upper portion are a pair of glazed doors adorned with fifteen intricately paneled sections. The original astragal moldings divide the doors, preserving the authentic charm of the era. Open the doors to reveal a spacious and adjustable three-shelf bookcase, providing a perfect display space for your treasured literary collection. The lower case is equally impressive, featuring a front top drawer accented with a tasteful brass pull handle. Below, double doors open to unveil a thoughtfully designed interior. Four exquisitely carved wood tapered feet provide a sturdy foundation, while the open doors reveal a two-tiered pull-out storage/display slide, adding versatility to your storage options. The carved wood crown molding top is unattached & sturdily resting on the top of the bookcase make it very easy for shipping.
