Georgian Style Walnut Fall-Front Bureau with Marquetry, Late 18th Century
$5.400,00
This elegant fall-front bureau is a beautiful example of late 18th-century English craftsmanship in the Georgian style, dating circa 1780–1800. Traditionally made in mahogany, this particular piece is crafted in walnut — a noble and durable wood widely appreciated for its fine grain and warm tone, and perfectly suited for export to the United States due to its non-restricted status.
The slant-front opens to reveal a fitted interior composed of arched pigeonholes and two small drawers, flanking a central arrangement that evokes classical symmetry. The writing surface is supported by original pull-out lopers and retains its rich patina. Below, three full-length drawers with finely inlaid borders offer ample storage, each fitted with elegant swan-neck brass handles. The base rests on classic bracket feet, characteristic of the period.
A highlight of this piece is the refined marquetry medallion on the drop-front, depicting a neoclassical motif of a drum, horn, and foliage — a typical decorative theme from the late Georgian period. The overall condition is consistent with age, showing a desirable patina and signs of gentle use.
Functional, decorative, and historically significant, this walnut bureau is ideal for use in an office, study, or sophisticated living space. A timeless piece of English furniture with both charm and character, ready for international interiors.
