About this piece
English George III period drop-front writing bureau, early 1800s, crafted from solid boards of imported Central American mahogany with pronounced figuring and colour. Proportions are well resolved, with decorative inlay work throughout.
The sloping drop-front is broadly crossbanded in lighter satinwood with fine line inlays and features a large urn marquetry motif with scrolling flowers and leaves in satinwood and various fruitwoods arranged symmetrically. The bureau stands on straight corner bracket feet.
The fitted interior comprises pigeonholes and small drawers, together with a recessed, panelled centre door with floral inlays. Secret compartments are concealed on either side, hidden behind leather book bindings.
Below, four full-width graduated, oak-lined drawers retain brass pull hardware, keyhole escutcheons and cockbead mouldings. The satinwood crossbanding and fine line inlays continue across both the internal and external drawer fronts and the drop-front.
Condition: Near excellent for age. The piece may have been refurbished and embellished during the late 19th to early 20th century Georgian Revival period.
Dimensions: 94 cm W x 53 cm D x 105 cm H
