Description

Large Mahogany Georgian Antique Bureau

This antique mahogany bureau dates from the Georgian period, circa 1790, and has relatively large proportions. It consists of a moulded fall front which when opened reveals a green baize writing insert, several pigeon holes and small oak lined drawers with brass handles. In the centre can be found a small cupboard door which hides another small drawer along with two secret compartments! The lower section has a two over three drawer configuration, all displaying cock beading and the original brass swan neck handles. The bureau stands on shaped bracket feet, has later back boards and is full of charm and character as expected in a piece of this age. The mahogany is a medium warm shade with a striking grain, good patina, is in very good condition and has been beautifully cleaned using a traditional form of wax finishing.
