1900 - 1920
For Sale by Billy Hunt & Co.
Description

A fine quality solid English oak Arts & Crafts bureau bookcase with the added benefit of a little cupboard with original bevelled mirror glass - not something we have seen before - well not in a bureau.

This one sits in a nice historic order with wear in the right places and some attractive features; working lock and key to the drop down and little mirrored cabinet, copper embossed handles, attractive back plinth, well shaped base, useful and well shaped shelves, nice pigeon holes with little drawers and overall quality. We have carefully cleaned the piece and ensured that it is ready for placing into your chosen space.

Billy Hunt and Co is located on a large Victorian farm just a short country drive from the Rangemore village, a designated conservation area, which was built by Michael Thomas Bass in the 1850s to house the Bass Rangemore Estate workers consisting mainly of Victorian redbrick cottages and the occasional barn.

Our home is a classic Victorian designed and well equipped late 19th century 2 story red brick built barn of some 4000 sq feet nestled in classic English countryside, which enjoyed a careful full renovation in 2000. The estate still benefits being managed in the traditional manner with an Estate Manger, estate carpenter, gardeners etc. A rather delightful place to have as our work space.

Martina, there is no Billy at Billy hunt, has led the team since 2103 and is an interior designer qualified from The Inchbald School of Design London whose previous working life included such clients as Vertu, Aston Martin and Johnnie Walker to name a few.

Please do not hesitate to call or email if you have any questions on the pieces that may interest you - Many thanks Martina

FAQs

Emerging in the late 19th century, Arts and Crafts design emphasised traditional craftsmanship, simple forms, and honest construction without excessive ornamentation. Furniture from this movement frequently highlights natural wood grain, exposed joinery, and functional hand-forged metalware.

Bureaux from the Edwardian Arts and Crafts era typically utilise solid oak framing, hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, and mortise and tenon joinery. Structural elements often feature decorative heart or spade cutouts in the upper galleries alongside beaten copper or brass handles.

Authentic pieces feature quarter-sawn oak showcasing medullary rays, genuine hand-cut joinery, and original ironmongery such as patinated copper handles. Check for period-appropriate locks, natural age wear around high-touch areas, and authentic backboard timbering.

Integrate an oak bureau into a home office or living room corner to serve as a compact workstation and display cabinet. Complement the rich timber tones with modern brass desk accessories, botanical ceramics, and textured linen soft furnishings.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the timber finish. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage or colour fading.
