A Large Late 19th Century Georgian Style Mahogany Breakfront Bookcase - A substantial late 19th or early 20th-century breakfront bookcase, expertly crafted in the Georgian Revival style. The unit is designed in two sections for ease of transport, comprising an upper glazed cabinet and a lower cupboard base. The upper section features a prominent stepped cornice above three glazed doors, each decorated with hand-carved fan motifs at the corners of the mouldings. The interior is fitted with a series of adjustable shelves. The lower base section mirrors the triple-door configuration with solid raised-panel doors, also featuring decorative corner carvings. The piece is primarily constructed from mahogany with a dark-stained finish, showcasing a rich grain throughout. Both sections are fitted with brass-lined keyholes, though the piece is currently lacking its keys. The construction is robust, typical of high-quality late Victorian or Edwardian cabinet making, intended for a library or formal study setting. Dimensions: H 218cm x W 183cm x D 46cm.
