DESCRIPTION

Dating from the first half of the 18th century, this attractive walnut bureau has a fall front opening to reveal a well-appointed fitted interior, with an arrangement of small drawers and pigeonholes beneath shaped valances and a practical writing surface. Below are four graduated long drawers, fitted with brass handles and escutcheons, the whole raised on bracket feet.

A practical piece of Georgian furniture offering both a useful writing space and generous drawer storage.

CONDITION

Structurally sound and in good usable antique condition, with marks, knocks, wear and historic repairs commensurate with age and use. There is noticeable sun fading to the walnut, particularly to the left hand side. The backboards and external brassware have been replaced. One key is present and operates one of the small internal drawers. There are no keys for the remaining locks.

Overall, an attractive and practical Georgian bureau with a pleasing aged appearance and plenty of period character.

As an antique or vintage piece, signs of age and use should be expected and are part of its character.

ABOUT ALSO

Thank you for viewing this piece from Also Antique Furniture.

We carefully select antique furniture and decorative objects for their quality, craftsmanship, character and individuality. Our tastes are broad, and we’re happy to be led by the piece rather than a particular period or style. Above all, we choose things we genuinely admire and would be happy to have in our own home.

Every item is individually inspected, researched and professionally photographed, with clear descriptions and honest condition reports to help you buy with confidence.

We believe good furniture should have a long life. Choosing antique keeps well-made furniture and existing materials in use, and we favour sympathetic restoration that preserves the patina and character acquired over generations.

VIEWING

Viewing is welcome by appointment at our premises in North Yorkshire, on the border with Lancashire. If there is anything you would like to know before purchasing, we are always happy to answer questions or provide additional photographs.

DELIVERY & COLLECTION

Collection is welcome by arrangement.

We can usually arrange delivery throughout mainland UK using trusted independent couriers, charged at cost. As a general guide, delivery for an average-sized chest of drawers is typically £80–£100. Larger items and more remote locations will incur higher charges.

Most deliveries are completed within approximately two weeks, although faster delivery may sometimes be available. Please contact us with your postcode for a delivery quotation before purchasing.

AUTHENTICITY & CONDITION

We strive to describe every item as accurately and honestly as possible. Statements regarding age, attribution, origin and provenance are offered in good faith and represent our professional opinion based on the information available at the time of listing.

As all of our items are antique or vintage, signs of age and use should be expected. Old repairs, knocks, wear, variations in colour and other minor imperfections are often part of a piece’s history and character. Where condition affects its integrity, appearance or usefulness, we will endeavour to make this clear in the description.
