English Walnut Slant Front Bureau/Desk with String Inlay

About the Item

Proportioned in a smaller scale than most, this slant front bureau / desk in walnut has parallel strings of satinwood surrounding the herringbone crossbanding that is used throughout the top, slope and drawer fronts. The interior is exquisitely appointed with pigeon holes, and small drawers flanking a small central cupboard--all above a document compartment accessed via a sliding panel.
