Description

This mahogany breakfront bookcase, circa 1847, shows Regency and Sheraton influences in its inlaid pediment, moulded cornice and astral glazed doors, which retain their original glass. The base offers glazed cupboards with adjustable shelves above lower storage cupboards with inset oval panels. Woodwork restoration and hand polishing have preserved its original character, with a small burn mark to one side and some surface marks and fading.
