Antique Edwardian Small Mahogany Bureau

1900 - 1920
Description

A charming antique Edwardian mahogany bureau, standing on bracket feet with four graduated drawers retaining attractive brass swan neck handles. The fall-front is beautifully decorated with contrasting string inlay and a central oval satinwood-style shell inlay, opening to reveal a well-appointed fitted interior with an arrangement of pigeonholes, small drawers and a central cupboard.

The bureau features an automatic action where the writing supports slide out as the fall-front is lowered, providing a practical writing surface. A well-proportioned and elegant example with fine inlaid detailing throughout.

Item Reference:

M-6960

.

Dimensions:

Height – 99cm / Width – 78cm / Depth – 46cm / Depth Open - 77cm

CONDITION REPORT:

In excellent antique condition throughout with only minor signs of age and use. There is light surface wear including age-related marks, scratches and a few small indentations to the top surface, as pictured. Very slight warping to fall front means it does not sit completely flush when closed, however, this does not detract from the overall appeal. Overall, the bureau remains solid, sound and presents exceptionally well.

Our experienced carpenter thoroughly inspects, repairs and restores each item in our collection to ensure it is fully prepared for use in your home. For a clear and accurate understanding of each item's condition, we ask that you carefully review all provided photos. These images are an essential part of the description and condition report, offering important visual details.

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.
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.
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.

An Edwardian writing bureau is a compact piece of writing furniture produced during the early 20th century, characterised by a sloping fall-front flap that opens to reveal an interior arrangement of pigeonholes and small drawers above a chest of larger drawers.

These pieces are predominantly constructed from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, frequently featuring decorative shell motif marquetry, satinwood crossbanding, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, and solid brass drop handles.

Authentic Edwardian bureaux feature natural timber patination, hand-cut joinery within the drawer linings, original iron or brass lock mechanisms, and light wear patterns consistent with period use along the writing surface hinges.

A compact bureau functions as an efficient home office workstation in narrow alcoves, living room corners, or bedrooms, providing concealed desk space and practical drawer storage while adding warmth to contemporary interiors.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the mahogany timber, avoiding direct sunlight and proximity to radiator heat sources.
