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).
