Tom Scott Antiques

Description

This handsome late Georgian to Regency period secretaire bookcase is made in a pale mahogany with marquetry inlays and a satinwood interior, so it keeps a large piece of furniture feeling lighter than some of the rich mahogany alternatives.
Simple classic lines which are complimented by the oval marquetry panels and those wonderful feet. The interior satinwood drawers have a fine string inlay and the blue crushed velvet give it a punch of colour!
This can be a very practical piece for a working home office with good surface space.
The top bookcase section with the astragal glaxing has three fully adjustable shelves, the drawers and pigeon holes to the secretaire but also unusually to the base you have a full set of slides which would be great storage for plans and paperwork, or whatever else needs tucking away.
The piece splits into two parts, so delivery is no problem.
Great piece and a wonderful colour and patina.
