Early 20thC Art Nouveau Style Mahogany Music Cabinet by Maple & Co.

A first quality mahogany piece from a leading maker, dating from 1906-12 and in very good condition, with serpentine tray-top, inset with an oval brass commemorative plate relating to the retirement in 1912, after 46 years service on the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway, of Mr H S Starnes, supported on organic posts & brackets, over a 5-drawer chest, each drawer-front satinwood cross-banded & ebony strung, with drop-handles and naturalistic copper plates, opening on Stones Patent drop-hinges, the cabinet with panelled sides & back and with the maker's brass plaque, all on moulded cabriole legs, this exceptional sheet music or document chest will impress in the most elegant of reception rooms, whether period-furnished or more contemporary in style, fully-deserving of the flattering attention it will undoubtedly attract.

Width of Top 56cm x Depth 40.75cm (22" x 16") & O/All Height 97.75cm (38.5")

This piece dates from around the Edwardian Period, so you may expect the mature character & patina of age, together with very minor wear & tear commensurate with normal use but, now professionally & sympathetically re-furbished and in very good, clean & sound condition and ready to use in your home.
