Description

Exceptional quality antique Victorian burr walnut bureau having three drawers above a beautiful shaped fall enclosing a wonderful fitted exterior with three long drawers and a leather writing surface, a further three drawers beneath all with original brass handles. It is raised on attractive acanthus carved cabriole legs terminating in carved paw feet.

Even though not marked this would have been crafted by one of the finest cabinet makers of the 19th century - due to the quality and design, most certainly a commissioned piece. A superior original condition example of design and craftsmanship, the colour and patination is truly stunning.

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

Victorian burr walnut bureaux combine highly figured walnut root veneers with functional writing surfaces and drawers, designed for letter writing and home organisation during the 19th century.

These bureaux typically feature solid timber carcasses finished with decorative burr walnut veneers, hand-cut dovetail drawer joinery, cast brass drop handles, and carved leg supports.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut dovetailing inside drawer boxes, original steel lock mechanisms, natural patination on brass hardware, and subtle wood shrinkage consistent with age.

Position the bureau as a focal point in a study, hallway, or living space, pairing its detailed woodwork with modern lighting, neutral wall treatments, or contemporary art.

Dust regularly using a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish twice yearly to protect the wood veneer, maintaining a stable indoor humidity level away from direct heat.
