A lovely oak bureau dating from the late 18th / early 19th Century. It has a sloped front above two short over two long drawers, each with brass plate handles and matching escutcheons. Two pulls support the front which opens to reveal a series of small pigeon holes, drawers and a small cupboard. The bureau comes with its original working key for the fall front and it stands on bracket feet.
It is in good condition for its age and the oak has developed a wonderful rich colour over the years. There are general signs of age and use, some old knocks and marks and small splits but no major damages and the piece is strong and sturdy. The hinges have been changed at some point and the handles are not original but overall it displays well. The interior is generally clean and tidy and the drawers open smoothly. It has been cleaned and gently polished, retaining the original patina, and it is ready for use.
