About the Item

This 18th-century American bureau is crafted with richly patinated herringbone walnut veneers, its fall-front desk revealing a fitted interior once opened. Below are four drawers providing ample storage. The walnut veneer retains a warm, honey-brown tone, with a surface marked by the natural wear and depth of age. Combining practicality with understated elegance, this bureau is a fine example of American craftsmanship, equally suited for writing, storage, and display. Walnut veneers over pine and poplar secondary woods. Replaced 18th century period locks. American, 1760's-1780's In remarkable antique condition.
