A superb Georgian mahogany inlaid writing bureau in excellent antique condition and complete with its working key. The fall front, adorned with a shell motif and delicate string inlay, opens to reveal a beautifully fitted interior featuring fine satinwood detailing. Discreet compartments are cleverly tucked behind the cupboard door on either side — perfect for storing more sensitive documents. At the centre, a small cupboard is flanked by six drawers and two pigeonholes, and further conceals a hidden set of miniature drawers for added intrigue. Below, four graduated drawers are arranged for practical storage, each constructed with traditional dovetail joints and finished with oval backplate handles. With a rich patina, elegant proportions, and age-related character, this solid and handsome bureau embodies the charm and craftsmanship of the Georgian period — a distinguished focal point for any study or home office.
