18th century German inlaid walnut bureau bookcase, the broken arched cavetto moulded cornice over a pair of later glazed arched doors enclosing a velvet lined interior, the sloping fall with inlaid foliate scrolls and crowned monogram enclosing stepped pigeon holes and later baize surface, above three serpentine inlaid drawers, on later turned pad feet, H245 approx. W123, D74 cm. Provenance: Understood to have been in the vendor's family since at least 1905. The bureau bookcase was a gift from Darmstadt furniture manufacturer Ernst Joseph Trier to his sister, Marie Sichel (who married into the Sichel wine making family, famed for Blue Nun), on condition that it would be returned to him or his descendants on her death. In 1938 the furniture business was confiscated by the Third Reich and Ernst Trier arrested by the Gestapo. He died later that year. It is believed this piece was brought to Britain along with other possessions when Marie and her family fled Germany to avoid further Nazi repression. She died in London in 1967. The bureau bookcase returned to Ernst's son after her passing. Condition Report: Some loose moulding and veneer to a corner of the cornice. Later glass to the doors and interior now lined in velvet, with a display shelf on the bottom tier. Interior of the fall with later baize surface. Cracking to veneers and general condition commensurate with age and use. Sides are similarly inlaid walnut with an old crack to right hand side only.
