Delivery is INCLUDED in the price for all areas in MAINLAND England & Wales. Delivery is restricted to ground and first floor unless there is a lift the item can fit in. There is an additional charge of £12 per floor for delivery above the first floor via the stairs.

The bureau has a wonderful rich golden colour and has been sympathetically re-finished by hand in a shellac sealer. It has a smooth waxed finish, but still retains a few light authentic marks to highlight its genuine heritage.

Made in solid oak with hand carved green man pull handles and sinuous carved decoration, standing on a shaped all round plinth.

Inside features a pigeon hole interior with two drawers and a leather and gilt tooled inset. There are loopers on the sides to hold the drop safely and sturdily in situ. The leather and gilt inset has been replaced at some point, it is slightly raised on a couple of edges, but this has no movement to it.

The drawers have solid oak sides and backs with handmade dovetail construction. They all work well and are clean on the insides.

The key works the lid well. There is also a separate key for the cupboard. The cupboard has a removeable oak faced stained pine shelf. The back panel is in stained pine, this had a hole in the back, which has been plugged. Please refer to the last photograph.

Additional dimensions information:

The drop is 73cm high. There is 70cm in height from the floor to the underside of the drop. There is is 79cm width between the loopers.
