We are pleased to offer this very fine mid 19th century walnut and ebonized davenport bookcase. 

The top has a heavy moulded cornice leading down to a full glazed panel door. The door is surmounted by crisply carved classical motifs.

The davenport has a sloped black tooled leather writing surface and sits on heavy high Victorian carved columns. There is one long drawer and six short drawers to either side.

This is a piece of furniture of great quality. It was originally commissioned for the Great Exhibition and was purchased in 1996 for £15,000.
