Dealers Notes

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.

FAQs

Dutch bombe marquetry furniture developed during the 18th century, drawing influence from French Rococo forms and traditional Netherlandish woodworking techniques. Artisans perfected the curved, outward-swelling shape alongside intricate floral and foliate marquetry, creating a distinct regional style that continued into the 19th century.

These bureaux are typically constructed using solid walnut or oak casing layered with dark walnut or mahogany veneers. The intricate marquetry patterns are inlaid using contrasting woods such as fruitwood, boxwood, sycamore, and holly, often accented with cast brass handles and escutcheons.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut marquetry veneers showing subtle natural shrinkage, hand-dovetailed drawer joints, and solid oak or pine secondary woods for drawer linings. Look for natural patination on the timber and original hand-cast brass hardware displaying slight irregular variations.

Place the bureau against a neutral wall to allow the intricate floral marquetry and warm timber tones to act as a focal point. Combining dark inlaid furniture with contemporary minimalist lighting and muted textiles creates a balanced scheme between historical craft and modern aesthetic.

Position the piece away from direct sunlight and central heating radiators to prevent the wood veneers from drying out or lifting. Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax paste sparingly once or twice a year to preserve the timber and finish.
