Georgian 18th Century Mahogany Bureau Bookcase Cabinet
About the Item
A very attractive and good quality George III period mahogany bureau
bookcase having unusual castellated and carved cornice above pair of 13
pane astragal glazed doors, superbly figured flap and four long drawers
with replacement brass oval plate handles raised on original shaped bracket
feet
(A fine example of a functional and elegant Georgian bureau bookcase this piece
has been constructed from excellent quality mahogany. A lot of effort has gone
into maintaining as much elegance as possible with the various forms of decoration
used for the cornice and the elegant astragal glazing to the doors. The shelves within
the top are adjustable allowing for a variety of item sizes to be contained within. The
superbly figured sloping fall encloses a most attractive interior which would originally
have been designed for somebody to use as a temporary desk before folding the fall
back up to enclose any messy papers etc if required. The oval plate handles are
replacements, but they are old and sit most comfortably on the piece. The elegant
bracket feet are original).

- George II Mahogany Bureau Cabinet BookcaseLocated in Lymington, GBAn 18th-century mahogany bureau cabinet of impressive architectural form and lovely rich color. George II period, circa 1740. The top surmounted by a bold architectural pediment and centered by a brass finial. The two arched panel doors reveal three adjustable shelves which have candle slides below them. Furthermore, the bureau section is fitted with a stepped interior. This has two secret compartments, drawers and pigeon holes, and the fall is conventionally supported on two lopers. Lined in the best quality English oak. The blind doors of this Georgian cabinet have well-figured mahogany panels of very good rich color which reflect beautifully in the candle light.
