There are large bookcases listed in the sections entitled "breakfront bookcases" and there are secretaire/secretary/bureau bookcases listed under "secretaire bookcases".

Hare's Antiques stock very good quality antique furniture coupled with a light scattering of decorative smalls. Upon arrival we were greeted with 'sorry we don't sell tourist trinkets here, it's mostly furniture" , however upon introducing ourselves as dealers we got a tour of the extensive barns and spent a few hundred pounds on some stock. Hare's have fine and exceptional furniture - it's worth a look. The front of house greeting just needs a little improvement.
