Ambrose Heal for Heals of London. A stunning Laurel wood glazed bookcase

Ambrose Heal. A stunning Laurel wood glazed bookcase designed by Sir Ambrose Heal in 1929 from the signed series edition, the label inside the lower door is signed by Ambrose Heal's own hand and I also have the original Heals and Son label when I presume it was exhibited at Heals which reads :- No. D39A5Y, 36" Laurel Inlaid Bookcase and at the bottom it has NOT FOR SALE all written in ink. The sculpturally shaped top with 5 circular inlaid Abalone details and 2 diamond shaped Abalone inlays all united by beautiful Ebony string inlays with 14 further Abalone inlaid diamonds 7 to each door and Ebony string inlay and Ebonised detailing to the outer edge of each door and to the inner glazing bars and all the glass has a wonderful Green tinge to it and fully adjustable shelves inside. The sides in the middle also have 4 more Abalone inlaid diamonds in Ebony Squares, 2 to each side. The bottom section breaks forward with 2 side by side slides for choosing your books each has an ivory handle and is flanked with Abalone diamonds set into Ebony squares and corresponding Abalone inlays to the very centre and to each end side of each slide. The cupboard doors below with further Ebony string inlays around each of the 4 panels per door and around each door edge. This is certainly an important historic piece to be signed by Ambrose himself.
