Bookcase - Mahogany

Grand mahogany English tall bookcase – 19th / early 20th century – 3 pieces – integrated desk

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

This bookcase stands out for the quality of its cabinetmaking, its elegant wooden lattice latticework glazing in rosewood, its fluted uprights, its oval brass handles and its superb flame mahogany veneering with warm reflections.

The central body is equipped with a large secrétaire drawer laid out with numerous mail compartments and a small lockable safe, a characteristic of prestigious English libraries intended for study rooms or private libraries.

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