{"product_id":"restored-mahogany-bureau-bookcase-3","title":"Restored Mahogany Bureau Bookcase","description":"\u003cp\u003eA bureau bookcase provides a practical way to combine display, storage, and a dedicated writing area within a single piece of furniture. Its tall, space-efficient design makes it well suited to a study, living room, or home office, bringing traditional character alongside useful everyday functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis restored mahogany bureau bookcase features an upper glazed cabinet with decorative astragal glazing bars and adjustable shelving, offering an attractive space for displaying books, glassware, or decorative pieces. Below, the lockable fall-front opens to form a generous writing surface lined with green felt, with a fitted interior comprising pigeonholes, small drawers, and additional compartments for stationery and documents. Four full-width drawers provide further storage, while traditional brass handles and decorative escutcheons complement the warm mahogany finish. The piece retains its maker’s label for Kilgour \u0026amp; Liddell, Cabinet Makers \u0026amp; Upholsterers, 108 Grey Street, Newcastle-on-Tyne, adding further interest and provenance. Two working keys are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe previous finish has been carefully stripped back, and multiple coats of hard-wearing lacquer have been applied to provide a durable finish while bringing out the depth and natural character of the mahogany. The green felt on the writing surface has also been replaced. As expected with a piece of this age, there are signs of previous use and natural movement in the timber. The fall-front has slight age-related warping, meaning a little pressure around the lock area is required when locking and unlocking it, although the lock remains functional. There is also a dent to the face of the fall-front writing section, as shown in the photographs. This item is made from mahogany and pine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombining generous storage, a useful writing area, and an elegant glazed display cabinet, this bureau bookcase offers considerable functionality in one traditional piece. Its restored finish, fitted interior, working locks, and period details make it an appealing choice for a home seeking both character and practical storage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[dimensions][w]111[\/w][h]205(77)[\/h][d]55(89)[\/d][\/dimensions]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trade Furniture | British","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57172280934780,"sku":"AFI008","price":815.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1526\/7737\/files\/AFI008a.jpg?v=1784031238","url":"https:\/\/restoredfurniture.co.uk\/products\/restored-mahogany-bureau-bookcase-3","provider":"Betel Restored Furniture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
