Antique Georgian Oak Fall Front Writing Bureau / c.1820

A handsome and characterful antique English oak fall-front writing bureau, dating from the early 19th century, circa 1800–1830. A wonderful example of traditional Georgian furniture, the bureau has a beautifully aged dark oak finish with a rich, naturally developed patina acquired over more than two centuries. The fall-front opens to reveal a particularly attractive and practical fitted interior, incorporating an arrangement of small drawers, pigeonholes and compartments, together with a central cupboard. When lowered, the front provides a generous writing surface, making this a highly functional piece as well as an impressive antique. Below are four full width graduated drawers, each fitted with traditional brass handles and key escutcheons. Additional brass fittings and carrying handles to the sides add further period character. The bureau stands on shaped bracket feet, giving the substantial cabinet an elegant and well balanced appearance. Dimensions Height: 105 cm Width: 95 cm Depth: 47 cm Very good antique condition considering its considerable age, with a solid and substantial construction. The timber displays a rich natural patina together with age-related marks, scratches, wear, colour variation and historic signs of use, particularly to the writing surface and fall front. These are consistent with a genuine antique of this age and contribute considerably to its character. We kindly ask you to review our delivery terms prior to purchase.
