The bottom drawer looks like two, but is in fact one deep double drawer, which has extra support with metal guides. The outside cupboards have oval flame mahogany panels with satinwood inlay.

Very impressive large antique Victorian secretaire bookcase from the Arts & Crafts period in solid walnut dating from around the 1880’s period. Please enlarge all the images to see all the great features. The bottom section has a pull out secretaire desk compartment with a tooled leather writing surface, maple veneered drawers & lots of pigeon holes. There are plenty of relief carvings all over the outside of the base section of this bookcase, especially on the two bottom door panels & the secretaire drawer panel. All the carvings have a floral theme, which is typical of the Arts & Craft period. There are other decorations too, like the turned spindles along the base & the reeding on the borders. I particularly like the way the central panels on the bottom doors sit in the middle of four outside panels. The top glazed section has adjustable bookshelves. This bookcase separates into two sections for easier transportation.

Set of Three Very Large Antique Holy Bibles 1778 , 1813 & 1844

£1,495.00 + VAT

A beautiful and very rare set of three antique holy bibles, each containing the new and old testaments. The oldest dates from 1778, it is Willoughby's Family bible, published in London by J. Wilkie. It's in quite remarkable condition for it's age, there is some minor damage to the spine so this must be handled with extreme care, but all is intact. The next oldest is from 1813, published in Liverpool by Nuttall, Fisher & Dixon. This one also has some damage to the spine, it looks as though it may have been repaired; all is intact but again, this must be handled with care. The third dates from 1844, and was published in Glasgow by Blackie & Son. This one is structurally very sound, but as with all of these extremely old books, must be handled with care! All three have beautiful illustrations, and have beautifully worn covers with plenty of patina and character. It's hard to get a sense of the scale in the images, but these are really quite huge and very impressive. We will not post these, delivery only by hand by a courier due to the fragile nature, we can get delivery quotes to anywhere. Collection in person also welcome.
