This Queen Anne style writing bureau originates from 1920. Constructed from timber with burr walnut veneer, it displays a warm brown colour with distinctive figuring across the sloping fall-front lid and drawer fronts, complemented by oak elements and brass hardware. The piece presents a sloping fall-front lid above four graduated drawers, fitted with matching brass drop handles, and stands upon bracket feet with a keyhole escutcheon positioned centrally on the upper slope. Measuring 95 cm high by 79 cm wide with a 41 cm depth, the bureau provides a compact writing desk and storage cabinet suitable for a study, library, or home office today.

FAQs

Originating in early 18th-century England, Queen Anne furniture is characterised by refined proportions, understated elegance, and the prominent use of walnut veneers, particularly figure-rich burr walnut, alongside features such as bracket or cabriole feet.

These bureaux typically featured a solid secondary timber frame, such as oak or pine, veneered with high-grade burr or walnut root, and were fitted with brass drop handles, steel lock mechanisms, and hand-cut dovetail jointing.

Authentic period pieces display signs of hand-craftsmanship, including irregular hand-cut dovetails, hand-planed drawer bases, original iron locks, age-appropriate shrinkage to the timber, and natural oxidisation on internal drawer linings.

A traditional bureau serves as a functional statement focal point in a contemporary home office or living space, pairing well with modern table lamps, abstract art placed above, or minimalist neutral decor to create visual contrast.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources to prevent timber movement and veneer lifting. Apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year to maintain the luster and protect the finish.
