Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

A burr mulberry bureau is an eighteenth-century style writing desk featuring a sloping front flap that opens to reveal an interior workspace. The exterior is veneered with highly figured burr wood, historically stained or finished to highlight intricate knot and swirl patterns.

These bureaux are constructed using solid hardwood framing, often oak or pine secondary timbers, finished with figured wood veneers such as burr walnut, ash, or maple. Metal fittings typically consist of hand-cast brass drop handles and escutcheon keyplates.

Authentic period bureaux feature hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer lining, unevenness consistent with hand-planed timber, period-correct brass hardware markings, and natural wear along the drawer runners and writing flap hinges.

Place the bureau against a neutral feature wall in a study, hallway, or living area to showcase the decorative grain. Pair it with understated modern table lighting and contemporary artwork to balance the traditional woodwork.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish twice a year to preserve the wood finish. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer cracking or lifting.
