english bureau cabinet/ bookcase/ secretary in mahogany

An English bureau cabinet/ bookcase/ secretary in mahogany, 1780
With secret compartments.
The top section with a broken arch pediment and dentil cornice. The frieze well carved with Gothic arcaded blind fretwork. Centred by an eagle.
The cabinet with two carved shaped doors, mirror plates enclosing a fitted interior and adjustable shelves.
The cleated fall, with its original lock, now fitted with a wine red, gilt tooled writing surface revealing an exceptionally high quality arrangement of canopied drawers and pigeon holes. The interior is centred by an arched architectural overdoor which pulls out as a secret drawer. The floor within the central door also slides forward revealing a secret recess.
Below is an arrangement of four drawers. Pictures really do not do this item justice.
