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...

Victorian Walnut Cylinder Roll Up Desk with Secret Drawer, 1830s
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. Functionality is also a hallmark, with numerous drawers providing ample storage space for your documents, supplies, and personal effects. What makes this desk even more special is its hidden drawer. Cleverly concealed among the others, it conceals a secret compartment where you can discreetly store your most precious items.
The desk's top is covered with an elegant leather writing surface, offering a smooth and durable area for writing, working, or simply placing items. Furthermore, the desk's top section is adjustable, allowing you to find the best working posture. An ingenious feature of this Victorian desk is its adjustable lectern. This lectern can be raised to create a convenient bookstand, allowing you to read and study comfortably while staying focused on your work.
