Early 18th Century Walnut Bureau Bookcase
This is a fine Queen Anne double dome walnut bureau bookcase with figured matched walnut veneer and feather banding throughout. The fall opens to reveal a wonderful quality shaped and stepped interior with a sliding well to the centre. The central door is flanked by columns with brass to the base and caps. The mirror plates are beveled and are old replacements as are the handles. The linings are in oak, they are in clean condition and original throughout as is the exterior. The bookcase is the classic Queen Anne design with double domed top. It is a rich warm honey colour and the proportions work particularly well. A similar example can be seen in the Van Cliburn Collection that sold at Christies New York 17th May, lot 106.
