Hepplewhite Period Figured Yew Wood Cylinder Bureau

18th century
Description

A Hepplewhite period yew wood cylinder bureau with tulipwood cross banding. The rectangular top above a concave frieze oak lined drawer, above a cylinder roll top, a fine expanse of superbly chosen burr veneer difficult to obtain in such a large size, opening when the drawer is pulled to reveal a finely fitted interior of pigeon holes and six drawers, with adjustable writing slope sliding to the open drawer. The plain lower oak lined drawer standing on four tapping square legs with boxwood collars, ending in brass caps and castors.

The outer handles and twin pen trays replaced.

An amboyna wood cylinder bureau of similar proportions and features is illustrated in Stevens & Whittington 18th Century English Furniture The Norman Adams Collections, p 128. A Yew wood cylinder bureau also crossbanded in tulipwood and with the same configuration to the slide is illustrated on p. 215.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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

Popularised in late eighteenth-century Britain, Hepplewhite cylinder bureaux feature a curved wooden roll-front that retracts into the cabinet top to reveal a fitted writing surface and interior compartments, set upon tapered legs.

These bureaux frequently utilise figured timber veneers such as yew wood, boxwood line inlay, hand-cut dovetail jointing on drawers, and solid cast brass handles.

Authentic period examples feature slender square tapered legs, original brass castors, hand-planed drawer linings, accurate period locks, and a smoothly functioning timber cylinder mechanism.

A yew wood bureau functions as a dedicated writing station in a home office or living room corner, balancing contemporary modern schemes through its clean Neoclassical silhouette and warm wood tone.

Preserve the finish by applying a natural beeswax polish along the grain annually, while positioning the furniture away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent veneer lifting.
