Description

A lovely walnut bureau. We date this bureau to the first half of the 20th century.

The bureau comes in one main section and sits on four cabriole legs with pad feet.

The drop flap is fitted with a lock (key supplied) and lowers to reveal the fitted interior. This consists of various pigeon holes, small drawers and a red vinyl writing surface. The drop flap is supported by two pull out lopers, one at each side that are released as the drop flap is opened.

The main lower section has four graduated drawers arranged two over two. The drawers are fitted with brass drop handles mounted on shapely backplates.

The bureau has a height of 41.5" (106cm), a width of 34" (86cm)at the feet and a depth of 17.5" (45cm) at the feet.

This lovely bureau remains in very good solid condition with only minor surface markings commensurate with age and usage. The fitted interior has some minor wear including a ring mark. The bureau has some slight mellowing and the top surface has some minor wear.

This remains a simple yet stylish and elegant bureau. It will continue to provide good service for many years to come.
