Georgian Country Oak Bureau

This bureau dates from around 1800 and is of beautiful proportion. It is constructed in an early Georgian style hinting at its provincial origins. The colour is a rich golden oak and the bureau has benefited from a full wax polish. The handles are Victorian and are not original, but have been on the piece for at least 100 years.

The inside of the bureau has 12 drawers, each with an original ring handle. Also there are 3 evenly spaced pigeon holes. The lock and key work well and the inside, once again has been waxed. The dimensions are-
Width- 37 1/4 " (946mm)
Height- 42 1/4" (1073mm)
Depth- 20 1/4" (514mm)
Price............ £550.00
