Antique Victorian Cylinder Bureau by Edwards & Roberts
Located in London, GB
Here we have a very large and impressive late Victorian cylinder bureau made by the well-known and much sought after Victorian cabinet maker and retailer Edwards & Roberts of Wardour Street, London.
Our antique furniture experts have dated this Victorian cylinder bureau to have been made around 1880.
The desk has been fully and meticulously restored by craftsmen in our own workshops and we consider it to be of “museum quality”.
This lovely Victorian Cylinder Bureau would make a bold statement wherever it was situated. Anyone who selects a piece of furniture this impressive to make their place of work will know that this cylinder bureau not only looks good but is also extremely practical. Just look at the copious amount of storage that is on offer for a start.
As you can see by looking at the range of photographs supplied, the Bureau houses numerous cupboards as well as a range of drawers of varying sizes and capacity and numerous other storage areas to accommodate copious amounts of stationery, books, office supplies and anything else that you like to have at hand when working.
The cylinder bureau can be positively attributed to the makers and suppliers Edwards and Roberts of London as it has a plate showing their name, as can be seen in the gallery of photographs.
The retractable top encloses a neatly fitted interior comprising six small drawers together with a bank of pigeon holes. The slide is finished nicely with an inset gold tooled burgundy leather writing surface.
The other very attractive feature of this lovely Victorian bureau...

Worn and Patinated English Antique Pine Tavern Table Desk
Located in Shippensburg, PA
ENGLISH WORN AND PATINATED PINE TAVERN TABLE
Circa the mid-19th century, with three drawers in the apron
Item # 402VDP08Z
A richly worn tavern table with a wonderful all-over surface patina from well over a century of life and active use, this gorgeous English tavern table features a large pine table top projecting over a simple frame holding three generous size drawers in the front. Each is hand-dovetailed in the typical manner and is hung with an oversized turned wooden knob.
It is raised on four incredibly sturdy and robust tapered legs with large exposed pin joinery throughout. The legs are stretched with short stretchers tenoned into the legs on either side and two full-width stretchers that are dovetailed into the side stretchers.
Incredibly beautiful and also super practical for so many applications. It makes a fantastic desk or working table, but is generally used in the kitchen as a breakfast table or as a working table/island. And the rich surface patina gives the new owner a great deal of permission to actively use and contribute to the surface history without fear of damage or deterioration from a few stains or abrasions.
Measurements: 29 5/8" H x 28 5/8" D x 80 3/4" W
Condition Report: Large square of pine set into the table top to probably replace a knot or area of damage; a stretcher at the back (between the legs along the length of the table) was removed at one point and it appears the center stretchers that are dovetailed into the side stretchers were added - a rather old alteration that allows for foot room. Inactive pest damage throughout with significant wear.

By Antonio Sotomayor
Located in LA FERTÉ-SOUS-JOUARRE, FR
Discover the timeless charm of a Victorian desk crafted in England in 1830. This elegant Cuban mahogany desk is a true testament to the quality craftsmanship and refined style of the Victorian era. With a meticulously designed layout, this desk not only provides a functional workspace but is also a work of beauty in itself. The rich tones of Cuban mahogany impart a natural warmth and elegance to the room, while the intricately carved details and delicate finishes add a touch of sophistication.
