Early 20th Century Carved Oak Bureau

A stunning carved oak bureau which was part of an extensive suite. This bureau is extensively carved to the whole of the front and sits on a sturdy stretchered base. The gallery top has a plate glass. The interior is typical of the very best, with it’s compartments, drawers, pen tray and original ink wells. All of this moves in and out as you pull down the fall of the bureau and is known as a cantilever mechanism. The leather writing surface is original and the working locks both have keys and work as they should. If the interior wasn’t enough, you open the base cupboards to reveal three beautiful drawers all with polished nickel swan neck handles. The whole piece is very clean and as such we believe has seen very little use and was probably a parlour piece (best Sunday room).
