Bookcase - Mahogany

Large English mahogany bookcase – 19th / early 20th century – 3-piece – integrated desk

Magnificent Victorian-style English bookcase, in flame mahogany, composed of three elements (a central body with two doors and two lateral bodies), resting on a dismantlable two-part base (top and bottom).

This bookcase stands out for the quality of its marquetry, its elegant wooden lattice glazing with rosewood, its fluted uprights, its oval brass handles and its superb rosewood veneer with warm reflections.

The central body is equipped with a large secretaire drawer laid out with numerous letter compartments and a small key-lockable safe, a hallmark of prestigious English libraries intended for studies or private libraries.

The bottom section offers ample closed storage space behind solid doors.
