Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

FAQs

A South German bureau bookcase is an 18th-century dual-purpose cabinet furniture piece featuring a writing desk with drawers below and a two-door cabinet or bookcase section above, characterised by curved profiles and figure-grained walnut veneers.

These pieces were typically constructed using softwood or hardwood carcases veneered with figured walnut, burr walnut, and fruitwood inlays, fitted with cast brass handles and escutcheons.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut dovetail drawer joinery, pine or oak secondary timber lining, serpentine or double-domed architectural shaping, and cast brass hardware displaying natural surface oxidisation.

Position the bureau bookcase as a focal architectural piece against a neutral backdrop in a living room, hallway, or study, pairing it with contemporary lighting and minimal decorative accents to highlight the timber character.

Dust surfaces regularly with a clean microfibre cloth, apply a thin coat of natural beeswax once or twice per year following the wood grain, and maintain consistent room humidity to prevent veneer movement.
