This is an antique bureau desk, a French escritoire in oak dating to circa 1870.

A fine example of its type in oak and mahogany
Appealing biscuit hues in the wax polished finish
Grain interest and a desirable aged patina

Raised on oblique block feet, the canted corners decorated with floral and foliate appliqué
The serpentine pediment mounting a beautifully pierced, carved foliate spray
The side panels in well figured oak and good order

Arranged 'draw over fall over three shaped drawers'
Benefiting from working locks and keys to the upper drawer and fall
Dressed with the original ornate brass drop handles

Opening the fall offers a generous working space at a comfortable height
The rear stationery chest offers a single full width drawer
Over twin banks of four drawers dressed with turned pulls
Flanking a central cubby hole with decorated pillars
Over a full width recess benefitting from square pen drawers either side

A substantial, attractive bureau in good order. Solid joints and construction, delivered waxed, polished and ready for the home.
