Item … more RARE AND VERY FINE MINIATURE GEORGE III MAHOGANY TWO-PART BOOKCASE OVER CHEST
Of Child-Like Dimensions | England, circa 1800
Item # 403TYP02X

A rare and very fine George III mahogany miniature two-part bookcase, the example was probably a salesman's sample showcasing the high-grade of cabinet work available from his shop. Every detail is carefully executed in the manner of a full-size bookcase including the joinery to be expected and all moldings.

Beneath a cove-molded crown, the bookcase presents with a pair of astragal-molded nine-pane glazed doors that open to reveal an adjustably shelved interior. This upper section is attached to the lower base with screws that go through the bottom of the bookcase in a manner identical to the full sized secretary desks and bookcases.

The bottom chest of drawers features four graduated full-width drawers, each hung with original brass hardware and featuring an incised edge framing the facade of the drawer. They feature crisply hand-cut dovetails in the pine secondary woods. The chest is raised on simple bracket feet with inward scrolled curves.

The back and underside present untouched secondary woods with rich dark brown oxidization throughout, hand-cut dovetailing of the crown corners and mostly original nails throughout the back.

An exceedingly fine piece, the surface glows under layers of shellac and centuries of wax applications. With rich color and great proportions, it is a rare conversation piece that also remains fully functional for display of small treasures and is often used for the organization of letters/stamps/bills/paperwork/important documents.

Measurements: 35 7/8" H x 10 7/8" D x 17 3/4" W

Condition Report: Rich historical surface with good color throughout, overall relatively early finish though not original; hairline cracks throughout from shrinkage over the years; all original hardware, no keys included; some patching around the top drawer escutcheon; light wear, abrasion and surface history throughout from years of regular careful use. A very fine presentation. less
