Antique Georgian Writing Bureau Large English Desk Chest Quality Interior C1750

18th century
Description

Large English Mahogany Bureau - Quality Fitted Interior - c1750

Presented in antique condition. This a quality bureau that has acquired the usual signs of use expected from a piece of 250 + years old.

One drop handle loop bar is missing. There are running repairs to the fall flap. There are areas of loose and missing veneer. The cock-beading on some of the drawer edges has been damaged. The baize writing area is scruffy.

The bureau does, however, have a very desirable fitted interior with serpentine drawers, a central cupboard, slide out false bookends, quality craftsmanship and a central well with slide access.

The bureau can be used in the condition that it is now and will make a fine addition to any home.

It is very solidly crafted with oak lined drawers, strong dovetails and heavy construction. Free of live woodworm and of classic proportions. A rare find with such a nice interior fitting.

A perfect example of practicality and good design with traditional craftsmanship delivering a piece which will still be desirable in another two centuries time.

A classic English antique bureau with huge charm, history and warmth.
