George I burl walnut slope front bureau bookcase. This well preserved example has pleasing proportions and a lovely patination. The pediment is hung with gilt leaf carved motifs. Below the frieze are two mirrored doors that are feather banded and enclose a fitted interior of pigeon holes and shelves. The burl walnut slope front encloses a fine example of a fitted interior with a mirrored central cupboard which is flanked by pigeonholes and stepped drawers. The lower section is made up of two short over three long drawers all retaining the original brass hardware and finely inlaid with featherbanding harmonizing with the top section all of which rest on bracket feet. Minor veneer restoration, one gilt carving replaced. English, Circa 1720
