Small Antique Bureau

19th century
Description

Charming small Georgian Regency mahogany bureau. Figured fall enclosing an arrangement of oak drawers and pigeon holes. Cockbeaded, graduated drawers fitted with later (but still old) oval brass plate handles. With shaped apron below and raised on splay feet.

All drawers run freely, the front folding down to create a flat and strong work surface.

Small bureaux are quite hard to come by and this is a very lovely example.

English, circa. 1825

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.

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 writing bureau is a compact desk featuring a sloped drop-down flap that opens to reveal an interior fitted with small drawers and pigeonholes, set above a chest of drawers. Popularised in the eighteenth century, it served as a versatile workspace for personal correspondence and storage.

Traditional bureaux were predominantly constructed using dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak. The drawers typically feature hand-cut dovetail joints, solid oak or pine linings, and cast brass drop handles with backplates.

Authentic period bureaux showcase signs of age such as uneven wood shrinkage, hand-sawn backboards, hand-cut dovetail drawer construction, and genuine brass hardware displaying natural oxidisation. The lopers supporting the writing slant slide within dedicated internal housings.

An antique bureau functions effectively as a compact home office desk in a living room, hallway, or bedroom alcove. Closing the sloped lid conceals stationery and modern electronics, maintaining an uncluttered visual aesthetic.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth, and apply a beeswax polish once or twice a year following the wood grain. Keep the furniture away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber warping and veneer lifting.
