Fall-front bureau supporting a cabinet with drawers and shelves enclosed behind a door of bevelled glass. The carcase is oak, veneered with burr-walnut, with herring-bone banding.
Fall-bront bureau. Oak carcase veneered with burr-walnut with herring-bone banding. The bureau has two small draw-out supports for the fall-front. It has two small drawers above two long, with five small drawers in the writing-well, and six pigeon-holes. A sliding flap serves a cavity beneath the well. The cabinet has a central sliding rest for a candlestick below three small drawers with the three shelves above, the drawers and shelves enclosed behind a door of plain bevelled glass. This has probably taken the place of mirror glass. The handles are not original.
