Walnut Bureau C.1730.

18th century
Description

An unusually small early 18th century walnut bureau, with fine veneers, excellent patination and beautifully faded.

The sides are pine, of a good colour and, unusually and pleasingly, have not been later veneered.

Drawer linings are oak with fine dovetails; escutcheons original but the handles are later replacements of the right type.

Obviously there are one or two old damages after 300 years, but nothing significant..a small piece of veneer missing from the right hand back corner of the top; not easily seen.

The strength of this piece lies in its small size, colour and patination; it really is a joy.

There are keys for the fall and the little door within the bureau.

SIZE: 35.75 inches wide, 39 inches tall, 19 inches deep.

PROVENANCE:Old Nottinghamshire Private Collection.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A Georgian slant-front bureau is an 18th-century writing cabinet featuring a hinged sloping front that opens to reveal an interior workspace with small drawers and pigeonholes, situated above a chest of drawers.

Early Georgian bureaux were predominantly constructed using native timber cores, such as pine or oak, veneered in figured walnut, burr walnut, or fruitwood, often featuring decorative featherbanding and cast brass hardware.

Authentic George I pieces typically feature pine drawer linings with hand-cut dovetail joints, original iron lock mechanisms, thick cut veneers, bracket feet, and period brass drop handles with shaped backplates.

A classic walnut bureau can be styled in a study, hallway, or living area alongside contemporary minimalist lighting, framed modern artwork, and neutral textile furnishings to create a balanced, layered aesthetic.

To preserve early walnut veneers, keep the furniture away from direct heat sources and sunlight, maintain stable humidity levels, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly along the grain.
