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 bureau plat is a flat-topped writing table that originated in France during the seventeenth century, characterized by a leather writing surface, drawers contained within the frieze, and cabriole or tapered legs.

French cabinetmakers constructed these tables using solid oak or fruitwood frames overlaid with tulipwood, kingwood, or rosewood veneers, embellished with cast gilt-bronze mounts, leather writing surfaces, and porcelain plaques.

Authentic period or revival pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, cast gilt-bronze mounts secured with hand-threaded screws, natural wear to the leather surface, and veneer applied over solid hardwood cores.

A bureau plat can serve as a central writing desk in a home office or library, or stand as a console table in an entryway or living space paired with neutral contemporary seating.

Maintain consistent humidity to prevent veneer lifting, dust wood and gilt-bronze surfaces with a soft dry cloth, avoid chemical abrasives on metalwork, and apply specialized conditioner to the leather inset.
