A lovely mahogany bureau. We date this bureau to the mid 19th century.
The bureau comes in one main section and sits on its steady bracket feet.
The fold-down top rests on two pull-out supports and is fitted with a lock (key supplied). It opens to reveal the fitted interior, which consists of various pigeon holes and drawers. There is also a small cupboard with a lock which contains the hidden compartment to the interior.
The lower section contains four full width drawers with brass handles and locks.
The bureau has a height of 44" (104cm), a width of 40" (102cm) and a depth of 20.5" (52cm). The depth on the top is 9.5” (24cm) and the total depth when opened is 34’’ (86cm).
This lovely bureau remains in very good solid condition with only minor surface markings commensurate with age and usage. There is some minor wear and indents to some edges, primarily to the base, and a small indentation at the keyhole of the small internal cupboard. There are some marks inside the bureau from past use.
This remains a simple yet stylish and elegant bureau. It will continue to provide good service for many years to come.
