Questions About 1940s Bureau
- What is a bureau in furniture?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A bureau with respect to furniture is a chest of drawers or a writing desk having drawers and a slanted top. Both are used for storing items. A bureau with only drawers is usually placed in the bedroom while a bureau that is styled like a writing desk lives in an office or library.

- What is an antique bureau?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021An antique bureau is any bureau that is 100 years old or older. The term bureau today is typically used as another word for a dresser or a chest of drawers. This word has also been used to refer to a writing desk. Find a collection of antique bureaus on 1stDibs today.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 1, 2024The difference between a bureau and a dresser has to do with their location and function: The type of bureau that we associate with getting dressed in the morning is little more than a dresser with a mirror on top. This type of storage furniture is essentially a cabinet with a stack of horizontal drawers. Typically, a bureau-dressing table is waist-high and placed in the bedroom. A dresser is a short case piece with drawers that is also typically located in the bedroom.
A bureau can also refer to a secretaire, a furnishing with a writing surface. This kind of bureau features a desk with drawers. Much like a traditional secretary but without the upper half, the slant-top desk, also known as a slant-front or bureau desk, originated in the 18th century.
Find vintage and antique dressers for sale on 1stDibs. - 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021In the 1940s, ladies wore clothes defined by clean and slim silhouettes. The jackets, blouses and sweaters often featured shoulderpads and had somewhat of a military feel. Most dresses were quite casual and pants and playsuits became part of a woman's everyday style.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A number of dresses were popular during the 1940s. Many women wore short-waist dresses with button necks, collars, fitted waists and full skirts.
