Circa 1820, rare Scottish George IV mahogany inlaid cabinet bookcase. The 2 door cabinet bookcase has an unusual stylish cornice, with carved rondels to the fore-edge. Beneath this a shaped ogee facing and a large panel that is inlaid with amboyna veneers and string inlay forming a pattern in the centre. There are 2 patterns to the front of the end of each section.
The 2 glazed doors have Gothic arches and a beaded fore edge, with cast brass escutcheons. Inside there are 3 shelves with reeded fore edges. There are 2 unusual pilasters come down the front of the bookcase with small cross sections laid side by side in a similar practice to quilling. This feature continues down the base where the shape of the fore edge is in the opposite direction to that at the top.
Beneath the 2 glazed doors is a flat section in flame mahogany with a stylish string inlay which is similar to that on the front of the cornice. There is 1 full length drawer again with the same inlay on it and flame mahogany panels. At the bottom there are 2 doors and the doors have flame mahogany panels either side. A beaded fore-edge separates the doors and a string inlay borders each of them. A break front section beneath these doors has a rare satinwood inlay that repeats down the facing of the bookcase. Below this there is an enclosed panel with flame mahogany string inlay and a sunburst panel on each end. The whole bookcase stands on 4 elegant feet. The ones at the front are fluted and tapering and the feet to the back are simple and turned. This stylish piece has been made in a style similar to Scottish makers Mein of Kelso and William Trotter of Edinburgh/.

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
