18th Century Walnut Bureau

A splendid and well proportioned 18th century and later walnut bureau of exceptional craftsmanship.

The top is finished with a galleried edge upon turned vase finials. The fall opens to reveal a stepped fitted interior with five drawers and a hidden sliding panel to the centre, with a further three hidden drawers.

The fall displays a delightful leather writing pad which is supported by a pair of loper with turned walnut knobs. Three long drawers with original walnut knobs sit above a pair of shelved cupboards to further compliment this wonderful bureau.

Raised on four original bun feet.

The bureau has a rich colour and patina commensurate with age. It is packed full of little quirks that make this piece a unique survivor.

English, circa 1750.
