Remarkable Antique George III Oak Bureau
For sale is a good quality George III Oak Bureau. The bureau was originally purchased from the Astley Estate (circa 1920) comprising Elsham and Worlaby which were acquired by Kings College. Then it found its way to Mr W.R Bridgewater of the Angel Hotel, Brigg. It was recently purchased privately by us in Essex, indicating that the bureau has traveled the country. We have a photostat copy of a newspaper article from 1919/1920 stating the history of the piece.
The fall front opening to reveal a fully fitted interior comprising of pigeon holes and drawers throughout. The middle section is completely removable and reveals a secret well. When the visible well is opening this too reveals another secret compartment to the front of the bureau. The two bottom left and right hand drawers in the bureau are completely removable and then reveal a further secret drawer on each side, meaning there is a total of four secret compartments. Below this is two short drawers over two long drawers. The piece is in very good condition having been re-polished by hand.
Width: 36" Depth: 21" Height: 38" FB Antiques, long standing members of LAPADA (London and Provincial Antique Dealers Association), has been established since 1960 in London and had three shops supplying the home and overseas trade. We relocated from London 30 years ago to Rayleigh in Essex, to a 40,000 sqft warehouse from which we shipped approximately 120 containers a year. 5 years ago we downsized to our storage premises in Rettendon Essex, and now operate from our 15,000 sqft showroom and workshops, still supplying home and overseas trade as well as many members of the general public.
