Description
An elegant and distinguished Regency mahogany cylinder bookcase, beautifully combining the architectural refinement, rich timbers and considered craftsmanship so highly prized in fine period furniture.
The lower section is raised upon elegant splay feet beneath a shaped apron and is fitted with three mahogany-lined drawers, retaining their original ebonised turned knobs. The beautifully figured mahogany provides a rich and inviting backdrop to the cabinet’s exquisite period detailing.
The cylinder front glides open to reveal a particularly attractive fitted interior in highly figured bird’s-eye maple, incorporating a pull-out writing slope which lifts to form a practical reading stand. This thoughtfully designed feature lends the piece an additional dimension of versatility, creating an intimate space for reading, writing or correspondence.
The upper section is fitted with a pair of handsome Gothic-glazed doors, opening to reveal adjustable shelving for the elegant display and storage of books and treasured possessions. Of particular distinction is the brass closing mould to the doors, a charming and authentic period detail characteristic of Regency cabinetmaking.
The whole is surmounted by a beautifully shaped cornice, whilst the contrasting ebonised mouldings throughout accentuate the cabinet’s architectural lines and lend depth and definition to the warm, lustrous mahogany.
A wonderfully decorative and highly functional example of Regency furniture, offering an exceptional combination of book storage, writing facilities and timeless period elegance. Equally suited to a traditional library, refined study or distinguished country house interior.
The bookcase separates into two sections for ease of transportation and installation and is presented in good condition.
