Description

This antique solid mahogany bureau has a lot of Arts & Crafts influences, plus a bit of Art Nouveaux too. It's an original piece from around the 1890's period & was probably made for Liberty in London. It has so many interesting features, I couldn't mention them all, so please enlarge all the images to see for yourselves. I particularly like all the shaped fretwork & the stained glass top doors. The writing section opens up & is supported by the drawer when opened. The original brass handles are very much Art Nouveaux & so are the bottom shaped back & front stretchers. The leather writing surface is original & it has opened up a little in the middle. We could always have it replaced if necessary, but I like it as it is. This bureau is in good original condition & it structurally sound.
