About the Item
An exquisite George II period walnut bureau bookcase of exceptional colour, grain, and patina, dating to circa 1740. The upper section is adorned with refined mirrored doors, which open to reveal a beautifully fitted interior complete with an ingenious secret compartment—crafted with the discreet artistry and fine joinery for which the Georgian era is celebrated. Below, the fall-front bureau offers additional drawers and pigeonholes, all designed with both function and understated elegance in mind. Retaining its original open-back plate handles, this distinguished piece displays the warm, honeyed glow and subtle figuring that make early walnut furniture so highly sought-after by discerning collectors worldwide. A remarkable example of 18th-century English cabinetmaking, it would grace both traditional and contemporary interiors with timeless sophistication.
