BUREAU BOOKCASES

In the main, the same rules apply to the value of bureau bookcases as are applied to bureaux themselves and the dating of them lies in an understanding of the mouldings and types of veneered decoration. However, for the bureau bookcase there are additional features, particularly the decoration of the top moulding and the way the door fronts are arranged which give further signs of quality.
The essential point is, of course, to make sure that the top and bottom were made at the same time and that there has not been a marriage of two separate pieces. Among the points to check are colour, arrangements of drawers, old screw holes where the top has been secured, any signs of new cabinet work where the top may have been thinned or narrowed, the quality of wood used at both front and back and drawer lining materials and workmanship. Look carefully at the decoration, has some been added to one half to
make it look more like the other Often very difficult to tell.
Value points: as for bureaux plus the following point which apply to the top half.
domed or broken pediments mouldings of high quality  original mirror or glass glazing bar arrangement
This superb George I walnut and carved parcel gilt example is a first rate piece in which the fitted work on the top half has been taken to such an extent that it has made it into a cabinet rather than a bookcase. The use of pillars, fine carving both on the acanthus cartouche medallion and the massive paw feet make it a formidable example of English cabinet work. It is only marginally over 6ft. which further enhances its desirability. Still modestly priced in terms of Continental furniture. c. 1720

BOOKCASES — dwarf
Chiffonier or bookcase. Well-veneered in rosewood with pillars flanking and top mirror supported by well-executed scrolls.
An early nineteenth century example of Regency style with shell inlays in good quality mahogany veneer. The arches on the top of the doors, the use of applied decoration and the slightly high feet all point towards what will eventually become Victorian fussiness. c. 1810
A type which first came into favour in the last years of the eighteenth century. Very simple reeded moulding, turned legs and applied pillars. Sold at auction early 1978 for $1,250. So simple that logically fakes should abound. c. 1800
A late Sheraton mahogany veneered example inset with a marble panel on top and two drawers under. Two decorated fluted pillars inset on either side — not a particularly successful design.
A ‘dwarf’ break-front example with brass inlay on rosewood veneer. A good size with plenty of room for display on top.
The so-called dwarf bookcase came into vogue in Regency times. A patent for a revolving example was taken out in 1808. Being smaller they are desirable and hence relatively expensive for the workmanship in them. The very simple ones were also produced in Edwardian times. The distinction between side cabinets, display cabinets and bookcases is a fine one.

BOOKCASES — large

Bookcases fall into two main types, both the result of the requirements of the rich. The first from the eighteenth and early nineteenth century are floor to ceiling; the small very late eighteenth and nineteenth century examples were bought to preserve wall space for pictures — and even more expensive decoration.
Bookcases have been expensive for some time, whereas break-front wardrobes have been in demand only as embryonic bookcases. Conversion involves cutting about ten inches out of the depth, as clothes are that much wider than books. This and new astragal moulding to replace the solid fronts can leave tell-tale signs.
A mahogany break-front bookcase of real quality. The glazing bars, the bracket feet, dentil moulding, decorated surrounds to the doors and matched veneers on the panels all combine to make this a fine example. The bookcase section dominates the lower portion.
c.1770    Value is $9, 000 — 12, 000
A more flamboyant example of the same period and again extremely well made with fine matched veneers, dentil moulded cornice and elegant moulding to the glazed doors.
Here the two wings are gaining in importance. The diamond glazing bars are conventional, the quality of work and workmanship impeccable, but the top moulding, always wide on a good piece, seems to have taken off excessively.
By contrast a small Hepplewhite design. The shaped apron, splay feet, the oval panels of contrasting veneer and the metal attachment to vary the depth of the bookshelves, rather than the regular rebate of the previous examples, all point to the later more refined version. The broken pediment looks thin. c. 1800
Much more straightforward is this functional piece whose only concession to fashion are the supports so typical of the period. c. 1830
A good honest late eighteenth century secretaire bookcase. The moulded bead round the top drawer and the dentil cornice lift it marginally out of the rut. It is typical of hundreds that were made over a long period. c.1775-1795
With splayed feet, oval panels and a curiously inelegant top moulding, this early nineteenth century secretaire bookcase is firmly in the Sheraton tradition. c. 1805
Another example built on utilitarian lines, but the chamfered corners, well-panelled base, classical mouldings and break-front all lift it above the last example. c.1840
Mid-Victorian with the very thin veneer of fine burr walnut that was so widely used at this date. Note the rounded moulding. A decorative and functional piece. c. 1860
