Description: Elegant rosewood Victorian etagere signed (in three places) by
Thomas Brooks, New York City. The top has an ornate carved crest with
shaped raised panels and four finials on the sides. Under the crest is a
concaved shaped faceted hood with a shell carving in the middle. There are
three shaped shelves on either side of the central mirror. These are held
up by fancy turned supports and have laminated pierce carvings on the bottom
of each shelf. A mirror is behind each of the shelves. An original white
marble sits on the base. The bottom has a serpentine front drawer and
cupboard door with mirror. There is a shelf on each side of the base along
with applied carvings. Notice the lovely satinwood secondary wood in the
drawer - a sure sign of quality and craftsmanship. This piece has the
original cast brass key. All of the mirrors are original with only slight
silver loss. This is your chance to own a spectacular Victorian etagere by
one of the best NYC makers of the period!
