Description

A Chippendale period Georgian bureau constructed in solid mahogany. The framed single-plank fall-front opens to a gold tooled tan leather writing surface with an arrangement of small drawers and pigeon holes flanking a central cupboard, all set over two short and three long graduated oak-lined drawers retaining period-correct brass swan-neck handles, above a moulded lower edge and raised on shaped bracket feet.

The compact width provides a practical writing desk for a study, library or drawing room alcove, with a writing height perfectly proportioned for standard seating. The fall-front is secured by a heavy three-bolt lock, with the entire suite of original iron drawer locks fully operational via a single hand-forged iron key.

Very good antique condition, showing a deep, undisturbed patina and minor surface wear consistent with age. Structurally sound, clean and ready to place in the home.

English, circa 1770.

FAQs

A Georgian bureau typically features a sloping fall-front flap that opens to reveal a fitted interior of pigeonholes and small drawers, set above a chest of graduated drawers.

These pieces were predominantly constructed from solid and veneered mahogany, incorporating hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer construction and brass batwing or drop-handle hardware.

Authenticity is identified through period-appropriate timber shrinkage, hand-forged or cast brass fixings, handmade drawer linings, and traditional joinery methods lacking modern metal screws.

Pairing the dark wood with contemporary neutral walls and minimalist seating creates a balanced contrast, serving as a functional workspace or feature storage unit in a living space.

Maintain antique mahogany by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent wood splitting, applying natural beeswax periodically, and avoiding silicone-based polishes.
