The sloping fall is veneered in well-figured mahogany with a lively, flowing grain, and opens to form a writing surface supported on a pair of lopers, revealing what we would expect to be a fitted interior of pigeonholes and small drawers. Below are four long graduated drawers, the top one flanked by the lopers, each finely cockbeaded and fitted with pierced brass batwing handles and matching shaped escutcheons, which have mellowed to a soft, rubbed gold. The whole stands on classic shaped bracket feet, giving it a sturdy and traditional finish. The mahogany has aged to a deep, rich red-brown with a dry, glowing patina from generations of waxing and handling, and the drawer fronts show some lovely swirling figure and natural variation in colour. The fall and top carry the honest marks and gentle wear you would expect of over two centuries of use, which only add to its authenticity. At this scale it is wonderfully adaptable, equally suited to a bedroom, study, sitting room or landing as a small writing desk, offering useful storage and a proper place to work without overwhelming the space. Well made, honest and full of Georgian character, a most appealing bureau in good original condition.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAll furniture items require FREIGHT SHIPPING or DELIVERY, which is an additional charge based on location and size of the items.
