English Oak 2 Drawer Bureau Desk C1920

A somewhat handsome and solid English oak 2 drawer bureau desk, late 1920s. It’s sitting in a lovely tone and grain and is ready for placing after a careful repolish in our workshop.

This one has a pleasing stance and is compact in scale compared to many of its counterparts. We have two useful solid oak drawers with original drop pendant handles both stamped to rear with casting number, a rather nice set of turned legs with a flat extended base and of course a useful interior of a little bank of pigeon holes, stamp drawer and original “mock croc” writing area all hidden and kept secret by way of a working lock and key.

Condition is 1st rate after a careful repolish and beeswax to the well grained English oak. Expect light wear and a piece that is ready for placing.

A lovely little English oak piece late 1920s.

Billy Hunt and Co is located on a large Victorian farm just a short country drive from the Rangemore village, a designated conservation area, which was built by Michael Thomas Bass in the 1850s to house the Bass Rangemore Estate workers consisting mainly of Victorian redbrick cottages and the occasional barn.

Our home is a classic Victorian designed and well equipped late 19th century 2 story red brick built barn of some 4000 sq feet nestled in classic English countryside, which enjoyed a careful full renovation in 2000. The estate still benefits being managed in the traditional manner with an Estate Manger, estate carpenter, gardeners etc. A rather delightful place to have as our work space.

Martina, there is no Billy at Billy hunt, has led the team since 2103 and is an interior designer qualified from The Inchbald School of Design London whose previous working life included such clients as Vertu, Aston Martin and Johnnie Walker to name a few.
