Antique 18th century Georgian bookcase in mahogany, a handsome and elegant piece of excellent quality, showcasing fine craftsmanship and graceful proportions.
The upper section features a pair of glazed doors with finely moulded astragal glazing bars in an interlaced Gothic arch pattern, opening to reveal adjustable shelves. The lower section is enclosed by a pair of serpentine panel doors, opening to a cupboard fitted with adjustable shelves set on ratchet supports. Both pairs of doors have brass escutcheons and locks.
The whole front follows a serpentine shape, from the moulded cornice down to the base, which has a shaped apron and stands on elegant splayed bracket feet. The doors are crossbanded, and the back retains its old boarded panels with an original red wash.
The mahogany displays a stunning figured grain and a warm, rich colour, with a beautiful patina that can only come with age.
It comes apart in two sections for ease of transport and positioning, and is presented in good condition. A very desirable Georgian serpentine bookcase, the perfect addition to any living room, study or library.
