Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A bureau plat is a French form of writing table that emerged in the late 17th century, featuring a flat top usually lined with leather, drawers in the frieze, and ornamental metal mounts.

Traditional bureau plats feature hardwood frames veneered with fine woods such as kingwood, tulipwood, or rosewood, adorned with gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts and a leather writing surface.

Authentic pieces often display hand-chased gilt-bronze mounts with maker marks or foundry stamps, dovetail drawer joints, hand-planed secondary timber, and natural wear consistent with age along the feet and drawer runners.

Position the table centrally in a study or living room to allow viewing from all angles, pairing it with modern task lighting or a contemporary chair to contrast the classical ornamentation.

Preserve the wood veneer by maintaining stable humidity levels away from direct heat sources, clean the leather writing top with specialist leather balm, and dust gilt-bronze mounts gently with a soft dry brush.
