George I Walnut Bureau

18th century
Description

George I walnut bureau

We are delighted to offer this George I walnut bureau with the fitted interior and a sliding well.

The fall front with the well selected oyster walnut and a book rest.

Under the fall are a small drawer next to the pull out lopers that support the fall when open.

Under these drawers is a waist moulding, and under this are 2 half drawers and 2 full width drawers.

The bureau stands on bracket feet.

The interior has the well that has a slide that opens for full storage inside. It has the stepped interior with multiple drawers.

There is a receipt that comes with this bureau of when it was purchased from an antique shop in 1911 for £25, an incredible amount of money at the time, imagine how much that would be today! It is also interesting that at that time everything antique made in walnut was classed as Queen Anne, nowadays where there has been so much information and books written we are able to date these more accurately and what period they were made due to the slight changes in design.

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.
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.
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.

A George I walnut bureau is a writing cabinet produced during the reign of King George I (17141727). It typically features a sloped, hinged writing flap that opens to reveal interior pigeonholes and drawers, positioned above a chest of graduated drawers.

Pieces from this period were commonly constructed with a deal or oak carcass veneered in figured walnut or burr walnut. Details frequently included hand-cut dovetail joints, feather banding, crossbanding, and cast brass drop handles with engraved backplates.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-sawn timber marks, natural wood shrinkage around veneers, hand-cut joinery, and period-appropriate brassware with original iron lock mechanisms. The interior drawers typically show honest wear and oak drawer linings.

A walnut bureau serves as a focal point in a home office, hallway, or living area. Pair the warm timber tones with light neutral wall colours, contemporary lighting, and minimalist ceramics to balance the detailed historical wood grain.

Maintain walnut furniture by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish twice a year. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent veneer lifting and timber fading.
