Antique Edwardian Mahogany Bureau Bookcase / Writing Desk / C1910

A beautiful and elegant antique English bureau bookcase, dating from approximately 1910 and designed in the Georgian Revival tradition. A particularly attractive feature of this piece is its unusually slim and compact proportion, measuring only 64 cm wide while providing a combination of book storage, display space, writing surface and concealed storage. It would be particularly suitable for a study, living room, bedroom, hallway or smaller home where a full-size bureau would be too imposing. The upper bookcase section features a single glazed door with decorative geometric astragal glazing. Behind the door is a spacious interior fitted with adjustable wooden shelves, allowing the arrangement to be altered to accommodate books, decorative objects or collections. Below is the traditional fall-front bureau. The front lowers to create a practical writing surface suitable for correspondence, paperwork or modern use with a laptop. Inside is a fitted arrangement of pigeonholes, small drawers and a central cupboard, retaining the traditional character of an English writing bureau. A further drawer and enclosed cupboard to the lower section provide useful additional storage. The piece stands on traditional bracket feet and is finished in a rich, dark mahogany tone, giving it an understated and elegant appearance. Importantly, the bureau retains its original key. Dimensions Height: 201 cm Width: 64 cm Depth: 47 cm Good antique condition with a solid and sturdy construction. The piece displays genuine signs of age and previous use, including surface marks, scratches, variations in colour and wear to the writing surface.
