Description

This rare Norwegian carved oak bureau bookcase, circa 1760, is a piece of truly monumental proportions in three sections. A shaped cornice crowns carved double doors opening to shelves and fitted drawers, while the fall front reveals a fully fitted interior with a central tabernacle of eight drawers flanked by six shaped drawers. Below sit three deep drawers retaining their original handles. There is restoration to the back boards and expected minor marks, with fading to the sides.
