Description

Antique Georgian Walnut Bureau / Writing Desk.

Dating from around 1760 in the Georgian period this antique bureau / writing desk is made from walnut. It has a beautifully figured fall front which when lowered reveals a central cupboard door flanked by two columnar secret slides, six oak lined drawers and several pigeon holes. The lower section of the antique bureau has four graduating, beautifully figured drawers with brass swan neck handles. This 250 year old bureau stands on shaped bracket feet and has the usual old repairs often found in a piece of this age that only add to its charm rather than deflect from its beauty. It is a rich, warm walnut with a striking grain, good patina, is in very good condition and has been beautifully cleaned using a traditional form of wax finishing.
