A bureau is a useful way to bring order and character to a room, especially where space is limited. It offers the practicality of a writing desk and storage piece in one, making it well suited to a study, sitting room, bedroom, or hallway. This bureau has a pleasing traditional shape, with a sloping fall front, two drawers below, and turned front supports joined by a stretcher base. Inside, it opens to reveal a fitted interior with useful pigeonholes, a small central drawer, and a leatherette writing pad that is in good condition. The warm oak finish and compact proportions give it a neat, practical presence while still offering plenty of everyday storage. The previous finish has been stripped, and then multiple coats of hard-wearing matte lacquer have been applied, providing a durable long-lasting finish while also bringing out the grain and variation in the timber. There are visible areas of filler across the piece, along with a damaged corner to the fold-down flap, which should be expected and noted. This item is constructed primarily from plywood and oak veneer. It is an appealing and practical piece that combines storage, display, and writing space in one compact design. The combination of traditional form and everyday usefulness gives it plenty of charm.[dimensions][w]76[/w][h]98[/h][d]44[/d][/dimensions]
