About the Item

An elegant late 18th-century European bureau bookcase, crafted circa 1790 and retaining its original understated sophistication. This two-part piece features a glazed upper cabinet with diamond-pane doors, opening to adjustable shelving ideal for display or storage. The slant-front bureau below opens to reveal a beautifully arranged interior with curved drawers, pigeonholes, and a central cabinet, perfect for organizing correspondence or treasures. The writing surface is inlaid with worn brown leather, bearing the character of centuries past. Beneath, four generous drawers offer additional storage, each with original brass pulls and functioning locks. The painted finish, a soft pale grey with traces of warm undertones, exhibits a beautifully mellowed patina. Raised on bracket feet, this piece balances utility with charm and would serve as a stunning focal point in a study, library, or grand entryway. A rare example of 18th-century European craftsmanship that blends elegance, function, and history.
