This Queen Anne writing bureau dates from the eighteenth century and is constructed from walnut with a warm brown timber colour and brass hardware. The piece features a slant-front lid with herringbone feather banding, decorative brass drop handles on the drawers, and shaped bracket feet. The fall-front opens to reveal a fitted interior containing eight pigeon holes, four small drawers, two hidden drawers, a drop well, and a central cupboard. Below the writing surface, the exterior configuration consists of two short drawers placed over two long graduated drawers. Measuring 98 cm high, 88 cm wide, and 52 cm deep, this desk functions practically in a home as a compact writing station or hallway storage unit. The traditional design incorporates cross-banded drawer fronts and visible key escutcheons, presenting a classic silhouette suited to study spaces or living rooms.

FAQs

Queen Anne style furniture, dominant in England during the early eighteenth century, is characterised by balanced proportions, clean lines, and a preference for figured walnut veneers rather than heavy carving.

These bureaux were typically constructed using pine or oak frames lined with walnut veneers, accented by feather-banding or herringbone inlays, and fitted with cast brass drop handles and key escutcheon plates.

Authentic period bureaux feature hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers, signs of natural wood shrinkage, original bracket feet, and distinct oxidisation on internal secondary timbers.

Place the bureau against a neutral or dark-toned painted wall to highlight its timber grain, pairing it with contemporary task lighting and minimal decorative accents to balance old and new elements.

Apply clear microcrystalline wax or high-grade beeswax twice a year using a soft cotton cloth to protect the veneer, keeping the piece positioned away from direct sunlight and central heating sources.
