Description

Antique 20th century Edwardian bureau in figured walnut, a graceful piece that has plenty to enjoy before it is even opened.

The figured walnut gives the exterior a wonderfully lively grain, while delicate crossbanding across the front provides a refined decorative detail.
Four cabriole legs lift the bureau elegantly from the floor, giving it a light and shapely appearance.

Three drawers offer useful everyday storage, each finished with beautiful brass handles that sit perfectly against the warm walnut.
Opening the bureau reveals a fitted interior with numerous small storage compartments, creating a wonderfully organised place for letters, stationery and personal items.

A brown writing surface completes the design, ready for writing, reading or working from home.
Well made and of good quality, this highly desirable bureau is presented in good condition. It would make a beautiful and useful feature in a study, bedroom or reception room.

This Edwardian writing bureau belongs to the early 20th century, rendered in warm brown figured walnut, burr walnut and brass. The exterior displays a slant front above three drawers, mounted on four cabriole legs. Additional details visible include drop handles on each drawer front, crossbanding along the edges, and scroll or pad feet at the base of the legs. Measuring 102 cm high, 78.5 cm wide, and 49 cm deep, the dimensions provide a practical footprint for everyday use. In a contemporary home, this bureau finds its place in a study, bedroom, or reception room. The internal compartments accommodate stationery and personal items, while the drop-down writing surface offers a functional desk area for writing, reading, or working. The solid construction and compact proportion suit traditional and transitional interior settings alike, bringing period character and concealed storage to domestic spaces.

An Edwardian walnut writing bureau typically features a sloping fall-front flap that opens to reveal writing compartments, positioned above integrated drawers and raised on decorative cabriole or turned legs.

These bureaus usually feature solid hardwood framing with figured walnut or burr walnut veneers, hand-cut dovetail drawer joinery, and cast brass hardware.

Authentic period pieces display period-appropriate dovetail joints, natural wood patination, hand-finished cabriole legs, and balanced proportions characteristic of early 20th-century cabinetmaking.

Positioning a walnut bureau in a hallway, bedroom alcove, or living room provides a compact home workstation while adding rich timber textures to contemporary decor.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a soft cloth, applying beeswax once or twice a year, and keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer lifting.
