Dimensions in cm: Height 33 x width 43 x depth 31 - When closed Dimensions in inches: Height 1 foot, 1 inch x width 1 foot, 5 inches x depth 1 foot, 0 inches - When closed Figured walnut and burr walnut were considered as the most attractive varieties of walnut. Burr walnut veneer was taken from the specific part of the tree where ‘growths’ sprouting smaller branches and/ or roots would occur. As these ‘growth’ areas were limited in both occurrence and size, larger veneers were hard to source and often on bigger furniture (tables, desks, bureaus, cabinets etc), these veneers would have to be carefully joined by matching up the pieces or blending them together.
