Monumental English mahogany display bookcase, 19th c., having stepped cornice, breakfront case fitted with six glazed cabinet doors, opening to adjustable-height shelves with illuminated interiors, separated by carved pendants, the lower case having six drawers and three additional paneled cabinets enclosing additional adjustable shelving, on platform base, lock plates marked "G.H. & Co" for George Harley & Company, Wolverhampton, in need of wiring, approx 104"h, 152"w, 21"d

09/11/2026: In my opinion regarding LOT 2180: Please note that upon my review, I identified a mark on the lock plates reading “G.H. & Co.” for George Harley & Company, a Wolverhampton locksmith maker, as such I have altered the online description and the country of origin; I note that the structure stands sturdy, all doors appearing to remain tight on hinges, and the glass is free from visible hairlines/ fractures or chipping, the moire fabric lining the interior of upper case remains securely bound and exhibits light staining, the drawers operate smoothly, and cabinetry overall retains overall well-kept/ clean interiors, I observe a sparse degree of typical minor surface wear such as light abrasions and small veneer chips commensurate with age and use
