Rare, small proportioned, 17th Century William and Mary period, highly figured, walnut bureau cabinet, retaining a wonderful colour and patination. The top section has quarter veneered doors using quality veneer. The feather and cross banded doors and fall, open to reveal original drawers, pigeon holes, ink well and secret compartments.
