Antique Pine Secretaire/bureau with Writing Slope and Drawers

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Pinefinders
Description

Here’s a lovely antique pine secrétaire we have for sale.

Inside, behind the drop-down flap, you’ll find a set of small internal drawers, along with three larger drawers below and a shallow full-width drawer above. It has been wax-finished in a light Briwax Honey colour and is in very nice condition for its age (circa 1920s).

All the drawers slide smoothly. The top internal drawer has small brass knobs, while the lower internal drawers feature small cream-coloured knobs. There is also a central cubby hole for additional storage.

The drop-down writing surface folds away neatly, leaving you with a shallow drawer bank. The main drawers are fitted with attractive handles.

The code number is F1252F, and the price is £997.

Overall height is 52", width 44½", and depth 20½". When the writing surface is open, the depth extends to 35½". The writing height is 29", which is a comfortable table height.

Please note: this piece is heavy due to the internal metal support mechanism, and this will be taken into account when planning delivery.

Dimensions: height 52", width 44.5", depth 20.5"/35.5"

(approximately 132 cm × 113 cm × 52 cm / 90 cm).

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

A secretaire bureau is a combination storage chest and tall desk featuring a drop-front fall flap that opens to reveal an interior writing surface and small compartments, set above a series of drawers.

Nineteenth-century country secretaires were predominantly constructed from solid European pine or Scots pine, often held together with hand-cut dovetail joints and fitted with brass bail handles or escutcheons.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved dovetail jointing on drawer linings, hand-planed back panels, natural wood shrinkage around joints, and genuine wear around original keyholes.

A pine secretaire serves as a compact home office solution in a living space or bedroom, allowing laptops and stationery to be concealed when closed alongside neutral walls and natural earthenware decor.

Preserve the finish by applying clear beeswax polish two to three times a year with a soft cloth, keeping the timber clear of direct heat sources to prevent wood movement.
