A well-organised study, living room or hallway benefits from furniture that combines useful storage with a practical workspace. This restored oak bureau offers both, while bringing warm natural colour and traditional character to the room. The sloping fall front opens to form a writing surface, with internal shelves and divided compartments providing convenient space for stationery, letters and smaller belongings. Two full-width drawers add further storage, while the carved detail on the front, rounded edges and turned lower supports give the bureau a distinctive period appearance. The lock is operational, and the working key is included. The previous finish has been stripped away, and several coats of durable lacquer have been applied to protect the surface and enhance the natural oak grain. Small marks, repaired areas and signs of earlier use remain visible in places, reflecting the age and history of the piece. This item is made from oak, with plywood drawer bases and a plywood back panel. With its compact writing area, generous storage and traditional design, this bureau would be a useful and attractive addition to a range of interiors. Its working lock also provides a practical finishing detail.[dimensions][w]78[/w][h]103[/h][d]36(66)[/d][/dimensions]
