A large George III period mahogany secretaire bookcase; the outset cornice above a plain frieze and two glazed doors with lozenge-shaped astragal glazing bars, the single full-width fitted secretaire drawer above two cupboard doors and shaped apron, raised on French-style bracket feet, 238cm high x 124cm wide CONDITION REPORT: The cornice appears to be in good general order. The sides and the top appear OK with no major problems although there is a couple of minor vertical indentations on the right hand side where the top meets the base. All the glazing is untouched and the astragal glazing bars are there with the central foliate appliques. The lower section on the right hand side exhibits some minor scuffs and scratches etc., but nothing major. On the left hand side equally so with one or two minor historic “splits” of about 2/3cm at the top but these aren't particularly noticeable or visible. There is a section where the lower hinge on the left hand door meets the front left hand leg and is approx. 4cm split. There is a bit of ink staining on the horizontal shelf near the front of the drawer and there is some damage to the lower right hand side of the drawer(see images). There has also been some similar repair to the lower left hand side of the drawer (not particularly well) and also fresh fillets above the pear shaped ivory escutcheon. When the fall is let down to show the writing surface, the green baize is a later replacement. There are several ink stains as expected and the bank of four right hand side drawers, one of the ivory handles is off but it is present. The right hand door bead moulding between the two escutcheons is lifting towards the top. Overall this is a good piece and has come privately.
