fine quality Edwardian flame mahogany breakfront open bookcase, dating to circa 1910. Constructed in three sections beneath a finely figured flame mahogany frieze, the bookcase displays particularly attractive timber throughout, with rich colour and striking grain patterns across the breakfront top, frieze and sides.
The breakfront form gives the piece a distinguished architectural appearance, with the projecting central section flanked by slightly recessed outer compartments. The arrangement provides a practical combination of shelving, with adjustable shelves throughout allowing flexibility for books of varying sizes or decorative displays. Elegant reeded uprights divide the sections, whilst finely carved floral corner blocks add a restrained decorative detail typical of the Edwardian period.
Raised on slender square tapering legs terminating in spade feet.
