Description:
This is an unusual antique Welsh marches George III oak provincial bureau, circa 1810, decorated with folk art inlay, incorporating a comprehensive interior, in excellent original condition. Originating from the market town of Ludlow on the Welsh border, we believe this bureau to be of Welsh marches provenance. The bureau is in excellent working order, constructed with a scribe moulded solid oak frame, with an oak fall. The centre and corners of the fall is decorated with folk art inlay detail, featuring circular patterned oak dots. The fall also retains the original brass hinges and original brass working lever lock (with key). The fall opens to reveal a complete and original interior, comprising of 6 internal drawers, featuring turned wooden knobs. A central ‘cubby hole’ is also present, behind a cross-banded door with working lock and key. The interior also comprises 6 pigeon hole slots. The fall is supported by the original two moulded pull-out slides, with old replacement turned wooden knobs. Below the fall is a bank of four graduated drawers. The drawers are oak lined, boasting moulded and oak cross-banded fronts, and boast the original oak turned wooden knobs and original key escutcheons, along with original steel lever locks (all with working keys). The fall retains its original working brass lever lock, with working key. The bureau features clean oak and pine backboards and is raised on a shaped and moulded plinth, supported by bracket feet.
This desk would look superb in a variety of rooms, including the office, hallway, living room or dining room. This Georgian bureau would certainly grace any home and is an excellent investment which has stood the test of time. So, don’t miss out on your chance to own a lovely piece of antique furniture.
