A Fine Old
Ody George I Burr Walnut Secretaire Cabinet
Located in Lymington, GB
A fine English George I-period burr (burl) walnut secretaire cabinet attributed to Old & Ody.
Early-18th century, ca 1720.
The top section separates from the base and opens to reveal numerous fitted drawers, behind doors with original bevelled arched mirror plates.
The base contains a fall-front fitted secretaire with small drawers, two of which have secret drawers. Engraved mounts are contemporary if not original. All locks and cross-grained mouldings are original.
Beautiful deep rich colour throughout, with superb matched burr veneers within herringbone lines.
Bun feet are original. Lined throughout in best-quality English oak.
The well patinated, green, gilt-tooled liner in the writing surface appears original. In excellent condition overall.
Very much in the style of John Old & William Ody.
