French provincial bibliotheque or book cabinet c1860 Item # 4461 Click HERE to inquire about this item French oak provincial bibliotheque, or book cabinet. Furniture in this style emerged during the reign of King Louis XV, from 1715 to 1774, and has been popular ever since. It is characterized by gently curved panels, legs, and carving. Your cabinet does not date from the actual Louis XV period; it was made a century later, circa 1880 to 1900. It is still an antique cabinet, but it is a later version of the original. 18th century furniture was built of wide single boards. By late 19th century, cabinetmakers were taking shortcuts and building furniture with thinner multiple boards. This cabinet is very attractive. The approximate measurements are: height 5 feet and width about 3 feet. This item is in our online price guide and is not available for sale

Cyrus Wakefields Wakefield Reed Co. wicker rocker Item # 4462 Click HERE to inquire about this item Wakefield Reed Co. wicker rocker. Cyrus Wakefield's factory. Wicker is a loose term for the stalk of the rattan palm. Wakefield began using reed, the strong and flexible inner core of the stalk, in the 1850's. The style of this rocker, and the lettering of its label, tell us it was made circa 1880. Wakefield merged with the rival Heywood Brothers in 1897. This rocker's original natural finish is important, because it is always more desirable than a later painted finish. Its design features a set-in cane seat, spindle arm supports, diamond weave at the lumbar, a fancy cane back panel, and, of course, plenty of curlicues.

The desk was probably made in one of the interior southern states, circa 1850 to 1860.
