K0676 A fine and elegant Regency / George IV period rosewood inverted breakfront cabinet bookcase. This versatile piece, perfectly suited for use as a library bookcase, credenza, or sideboard, features a well-figured rosewood top elegantly crowned with an arched three-quarter brass gallery along the edge. The oversailing top sits above a central cupboard door fitted with a decorative brass crisscross lattice grille and a newly relined black moiré fabric panel, flanked by two glazed cabinet doors, all opening to reveal height-adjustable shelves. All three doors are fitted with working locks and are accompanied by three keys. The entire cabinet is raised on a substantial moulded plinth base that anchors its refined architectural proportions. Displaying a mellow colour and a soft patina, the piece retains its original French polish finish and shows some age related signs of use that only enhance its authentic historic character.
