CIRCA 1730, RECONSTRUCTED FROM A LARGER BOOKCASE IN THE LATE 18TH EARLY 19TH CENTURY

The bookcase's pattern of six-pane glazing features in several bookcases published in Batty Langley's City and Country Builder's and Workman's Treasury of Designs, 1740. One such bookcase at Uppark, Hampshire may have been provided by William Hallett (d.1781) (A. Coleridge, Chippendale Furniture, London, 1968, fig 68).
