In sixty-five years of sourcing British furniture, bookcases of this quality of ornamental detail - the brass frieze, the cast corner mounts, the ebonised columns - rarely present themselves at this price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRegency period, circa 1815–1825\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull dentil cornice with continuous cast brass anthemion and interlaced vine frieze\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCast brass shell and acanthus scroll corner mounts to all eight glazed door corners - all original\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass bead moulding framing each door light throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo substantial free-standing reeded columns - ebonised rings, gilt capitals, mahogany shafts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull-width lockable drawer with original ebonised knobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo panelled cupboard doors with richly figured mahogany and original locks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOriginal brass castors - all four present and functioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsmanship \u0026amp; Detail\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cornice carries a full dentil moulding across the full width — each tooth precisely cut and evenly spaced - beneath which a continuous cast brass frieze of anthemion and interlaced vine ornament adds a band of gilded detail of almost architectural authority. The glazed upper doors carry cast brass corner mounts of real quality - shell and acanthus scroll compositions, each one identical and original. The lower section is where the piece becomes truly unusual: two substantial free-standing reeded columns flank the cupboard doors with a formality borrowed directly from Regency architecture - full columns standing free of the carcase, turned with precision and finished with real care. The interior is lined in warm cedar-toned pine with two adjustable shelves and notched shelf supports running the full height. The whole piece sits on original brass castors - all four present and functioning - confirming the age and completeness of what you are acquiring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hawkins Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57192999616889,"sku":null,"price":1350.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/6633\/8937\/files\/unusualgeorgianbookcase_40dcbe8a-6bd6-4409-9e0b-6b46680a71f8.jpg?v=1777647422","url":"https:\/\/hawkinsantiques.com\/products\/antique-regency-mahogany-glazed-bookcase-cabinet-brass-mounts-1815","provider":"Hawkins Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
