Description
A good mid 18th century Cuban mahogany bureau, of pleasing proportions and rich colour, dating to the George II / early George III period, circa 1750.
The fall front opens to reveal a well-fitted interior of small drawers and pigeonholes, above a green baize-lined writing surface. The arrangement provides practical storage while retaining the charm and functionality expected of the period.
Below are four long graduated drawers, retaining their brass handles and escutcheons, and standing on ogee bracket feet.
The bureau is of solid construction throughout, with hand-cut dovetail joints and a well-figured top showing attractive age and patination.
Presented in good, honest condition, with wear commensurate with age, adding to its character.
