Very Fine Late 18th-Century George III Satinwood Rosewood Cross Banded Marquetry Secrétaire Bureau Bookcase An exceptional late 18th-century George III Sheraton period satinwood secrétaire bureau bookcase, beautifully crossbanded in rosewood and richly inlaid throughout. The upper section features a finely shaped, moulded and inlaid cornice, surmounted by turned finials to the domed top. Below sit two elegant glazed doors with rosewood crossbanding and intricate inlaid astragal mouldings, complete with brass escutcheons, key and working lock. The doors open to reveal three adjustable shelves, perfect for displaying books, porcelain or other treasured pieces. The lower bureau section has an impressive cylinder front, the finely figured satinwood fall with detailed inlays, rosewood crossbanding and profuse floral marquetry. The fall opens to reveal a beautifully arranged fitted interior with a pull-out sliding tray, drawers, pigeonholes and an adjustable writing slope, a superb combination of practicality and elegance. Beneath this are a pair of well figured satinwood cupboard doors, again crossbanded and richly inlaid with floral marquetry, opening to an adjustable shelf for additional storage. The whole piece stands on its original, elegant rosewood crossbanded splayed feet, and retains its original panelled oak backboards. From the cornice to the sides, glazed section, bureau front, cupboards and feet, the entire bookcase is inlaid and crossbanded, a clear mark of its quality. Made in England circa 1790, this bureau bookcase displays a wonderful rich satinwood colour and a superb original condition. The figured satinwood, combined with the delicate inlays and marquetry, has developed a warm, mellow patina that speaks of age and refinement. A distinguished example of Georgian cabinetmaking, this very fine bureau bookcase combines exceptional craftsmanship, architectural presence and practical function. It would make a superb focal point in a drawing room, library or study, and is an ideal choice for any refined interior seeking a statement piece of genuine period quality.
