A Regency Mahogany and Ebony Inlaid Waterfall Bookcase

A very handsome Regency mahogany open bookcase quite possibly by, and certainly in the manner of George Bullock, of superb quality and good scale, the curved upstand centred with an inlaid ebony fan flanked by waterfall sides enclosing a flame mahogany back and four shelves, with further decorative ebony stringing throughout, raised on bold square tapering feet. In wonderful original condition, with a paper label to the reverse: ‘EXHIBITED 10th ANTIQUES DEALERS’ FAIR JUNE 1950′. English, circa 1815

The Antiques Dealers’ Fair was first held at Grosvenor House in London’s Park Lane in 1934 and was the world’s very first Antiques Fair showcasing the finest works of art and antiques which the trade has to offer.
