Queen Anne Walnut Double Dome Bookcase Cabinet
About the Item
A Queen Anne period walnut double-dome bookcase cabinet.
This early-18th century walnut bookcase is veneered throughout in figured walnut, and is feather banded.
The bold cross-grain mouldings are particularly well executed. The cabinet doors with beautifully-aged, shallow, hand-bevelled plates. Finials later. Brassware probably original.
This has the additional feature of double-dome returns, ie to the sides.
Nb. This form of Queen Anne walnut display cabinet is much rarer than the conventional, more common, and considerably costlier, double-dome bureau bookcases of this period.
This piece can serve either as a bookcase or display cabinet. Over the last 60 years or so we have only handled three period cabinets of this form.
Literature:
See Ralph Edwards CBE, FSA, 'The Shorter Dictionary of English Furniture', Hamlyn, London (4th Impression 1972) p. 97, ill. 19, for a similarly configured double dome.

- William and Mary Walnut Double Dome Bureau Bookcase or CabinetLocated in Lymington, GBA rare William & Mary period walnut double-dome bureau bookcase / cabinet. Circa 1685. Of compact size and proportions. In excellent overall condition with old, waxed, well-patinated surfaces of very good color. This bureau bookcase, or cabinet, divides into three separate sections (which helps date it to the last quarter of the 17th century). The bold double-dome pediment and cross-grain mouldings are typical of this period, and are repeated in the side returns. The book-matched, hand-cut veneers are well figured throughout, and are contained within herringbone lines. The bookcase section has candle slides, contains shelves and fitted drawers. Gilded finials are later. The centre section with a quarter-veneered fall reveals a fitted interior, concealed well and a secret compartment. The writing section is raised on a three-drawer base with an unusual and boldly-arcaded apron, in turn raised on its apparently original walnut bun feet. The drawer dividers are faced with cross-grain walnut ‘D’ mouldings. The brass engraved mounts are correct for period but not original, however the locks and hinges are. It is unusual to encounter these early bookcases / cabinets constructed in three stages; an indication of a transition taking place from the 17th into the 18th century. This is a fine, rare and sophisticated piece of late-17th century walnut furniture...Category

- 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. The chamfered and arched doors display a further level of sophistication and quality. The beautifully-drawn arched pediment is in perfect proportion with the rest of the cabinet / bookcase. In excellent condition overall. Architectural furniture designs on the continent commenced with the arrival of the Renaissance, and they have their origins in Roman and Greek architecture. Nb. Bureau bookcases display books, china or silver behind glazed doors, but are described more accurately as bureau cabinets when they are fitted with blind doors. We often refer to antique bookcases / cabinets as ''secretary desks'' in the US. Information on pediments: 'Illustrated Dictionary...Category
