About the Item

Ernest Gimson attributed. Arts Crafts Cotswold school walnut bureau inlaid with holly chequered string inlay. The quality of this craftsman handmade bureau is a step above. The fold-down front is inlaid with holly chequered string inlay, opening with stylized butterfly hinges onto protruding supports with chamfered ends that extend to support the writing area from underneath it. Inside reveals two drawers and six open pigeon holes above with a central arched door with a segmented top divided by ebony string inlay with ebony pillars to each side emulating a grand architectural doorway. The main body has through tenon details with exposed dovetail joints to the top and sides. The drawer fronts have deep chamfered panels with the central drawer made from burr walnut giving a beautiful subtle contrast to the entire aesthetic of this bureau. There is lots of storage with eight drawers in all, retaining the original polished medieval-style steel handles with pierced circular back plates and little drop handles. The whole sat on bracket feet with a sweeping under tier. E.R. WHISHAW stamped to drawer top.
