Beautiful Vintage Bureau
This is an auction for a beautiful vintage bureau, in very good and immaculately clean condition, both inside and out. The bureau has a locking fall front, complete with key, which opens up to provide a faux leather inset writing area with pigeon holes for storage. The base of the bureau is comprised of two generously sized drawers below a smaller top drawer. Providing plenty of hidden storage, whether
running a small business, working from home or just keeping household bills in order.
Structurally, the bureau is in a very good and sturdy condition, all the joints and dovetails are good and strong with no movement and the legs, held sturdily in place by stretchers are firmly fixed, also showing no movement or wobble. The drawers are constructed with dovetails to the backs of the drawers as well as the fronts. As opposed to the slightly lesser quality furniture produced with a slot method on the backs. The drawers along with the fall front also fit well, open and closing freely with no rubbing or snagging and are complete with original drawer pulls and the lock complete with key. There is the odd surface scuff commensurate with age and use, but they are few and certainly nothing to harm the appearance any, merely adding a little character and authentic ageing, in all the right places, to this lovely piece.
A well-crafted and sturdy bureau, which in this age of laptops and little need for a large desk in the home/study, bureau’s of this kind are making a real comeback, being both very practical and space saving, not to mention being a beautiful piece of furniture.

I sell antique and vintage furniture with a history all of its own. There will almost certainly be signs of this previous life. This is the nature and beauty of the pieces. I describe all of my pieces to the best of my ability and knowledge often researching items for accuracy, but I am not an expert. I simply love what I do and treat every piece with care and respect.
