Condition Report:
This Georgian oak & mahogany bureau is inn good overall condition, considering its age. Nominal old use marks to the top, leading edges, fall, interior and inside of drawers, but nothing significant, considering the age of the item. The bureau has been wax polished by hand, to a professional standard, in our workshop, therefore the colour and patination are to an excellent standard. The fall opens easily with no significant warping, which is common with bureaus of this age. The interior is dry and clean, with some ink stains are present, but these do not detract from the overall attractiveness of the item. The original brass fall hinges are in good working condition. Old restoration to the right hand fall hinge area, which is solid in joint (see photos). The fall retains its original working brass lever lock, with working key, whereas the drawers below feature faux (dummy) locks. The drawers incorporate their original ash hand-dovetailed drawer linings and pine bottoms. The drawers close flush to the frame and feature fine quality old period replacement swan neck brass handles and escutcheons. The bureau retains its original backboards and is raised on a moulded plinth, terminating on bracket feet, which have been restored, to ensure they are firm. The bureau retains its original backboards. Evidence of historical woodworm to the backboards and drawer linings, which has been thoroughly treated. This Georgian bureau is solid in joint and ready to use.

It's helpful if you can provide us with both the landline and mobile telephone number, in case the driver cannot reach you on one of the numbers on the day of delivery, they can contact you on your alternative number.
