Antique Walnut Bureau

19th century
Description

A handsome 19th century walnut bureau with a well-fitted interior and excellent colour throughout. The fall-front has a working lock and key, which opens to reveal a traditional arrangement of small drawers, pigeonholes, and a central cupboard. Below are two short over three long graduated drawers fitted with brass swan-neck handles. The bureau stands on shaped bracket feet and displays attractive walnut figuring across the drawer fronts.

.

Item Reference:

M-06694

.

Dimensions:

Height – 113cm/ Width - 98cm/ Depth - 50cm / Depth Open - 88cm

.

CONDITION REPORT:

Good antique condition overall with age-related wear. There is some loss to the veneer along the lower edges and loss to the cockbeaded edging on the drawers. There is also a small area of loss to the back left edge of the top. The drawers run smoothly and the bureau is structurally solid and sound. Overall, the wear is consistent with age and does not detract from the piece’s overall appeal.

Our carpenter inspects, repairs, and restores our items, so you can have full confidence that what you buy from us is ready for your home! We ask that you take the time to look at all the photos as they form part of the description and condition report of the item.

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 writing bureau is a compact piece of case furniture featuring a sloping drop-down lid that creates a flat writing surface when opened, situated above a series of storage drawers.

Georgian bureaux were commonly constructed from solid walnut or oak, often finished with highly figured walnut veneers, featherbanding or crossbanding inlays, and solid cast brass handles.

Authentic early pieces typically exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers, original brass drop handles, crossbanded veneer borders, and natural wear or shrinkage consistent with aged timber.

A bureau functions well as a compact home office desk in a living room, bedroom, or hallway, serving as a functional workspace while concealing paperwork when the slant lid is closed.

To preserve the timber and veneer, keep the bureau away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying beeswax every few months.
