Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Holmes Antiques

A fine and rare George II Oak Bureau of pleasing small proportions, in superb original condition and a lovely colour, retaining the original handles, escutcheons, locks, hinges and beautifully shaped feet. The interior is a spectacular example, it is shaped and stepped with the most unusual feature of steps leading up to the central door. A secret compartment is fitted behind the door and operated with a metal spring catch, two further very neatly fitted secret drawers can be operated from the exterior top drawers by pushing the floor up underneath the two end interior drawers once these have been removed.
 
Having clean original Oak drawer linings throughout and with working keys for the fall front and interior door.
 
A truly outstanding period Oak Bureau showcasing the first class cabinetmaking skills of the craftsman, it is certainly one of the best we''ve seen.
