Exceptional George I, Burr Elm Fall Front Bureau, Secretaire Burl Secretary
Located in London, by appointment only
An exceptionally fine early 18th century burr elm veneered fall front bureau, the fall opening to a fitted interior of cupboards, drawers and pigeon holes with two hidden drawers behind columns, the lower cabinet with two short drawers above three graduated long drawers, the whole raised on bracket feet.
Pieces of this early date tend to be veneered in walnut, however, burr elm is a significantly rarer veneer. It has a wonderfully rich figuring and a nutty brown patina. This is a very rare fine and one of the finest fall front bureaus offered in recent years.
An exceptional George I burr elm fall front bureau / secretaire burl secretary.

George I Period Walnut Kneehole Desk with Pull-Out Secretaire Drawer, circa 1720
Located in Milford, NH
A George I period walnut kneehole desk, circa 1720. A popular form at this time, the top drawer has a pull-out secretaire drawer that is hinged at the bottom. Unlatched this drawer front provides a leather covered writing surface. Inside the secretaire drawer are pigeon holes and small drawers. The overlapping drawer fronts are edged with walnut crossbanding. The top is also crossbanded in walnut with one highly figured walnut veneer surface. The top molding is constructed in a 17th century style with walnut set on top of a softwood base. The bracket feet, two at the front of each are more stable and aesthetically pleasing than the two footed versions, one rear foot is replaced. The brasses, although 18th century in style and possibly manufacture, are not original. A very refined piece with all the design elements of the finest 18th century English furniture...
