Antique walnut and mahogany fall front lockable bureau desk with three drawers on cabriole legs with ball and claw feet

Antique Polished Burr Walnut Ladies Bureau / Secretary Desk

A stunning lockable antique burr walnut and mahogany fall front ladies bureau / writing desk on carved legs and dating probably from the early 1900's. The burr walnut veneers are stunning and are wonderfully patterned with rich colours. Beautifully fitted internally with pigeon holes and small drawers with the original leather writing pad, there are brass supports inside the desk which open automatically once the desk is opened. There are three further drawers beneath the desk, each with the original handles, escutcheons and locks. I have fully cleaned and polished the handles by hand and I have carefully cleaned, oiled, waxed and polished the bureau and it is now in super condition. A fabulous addition to a hallway, home office, landing or indeed any room.
 
Condition:
A real beauty, this piece is in very good condition with no major damage apart from some minors scuffs and marks which are to be expected with a piece of this age. Internally the drawer bases have shrunk back a little to leave some minor slits in the base but in my view this does not hinder the sturdiness of the drawers in any way. The drawers and desk open and close with ease and the original leather writing pad is in good used antique condition with a few minor marks and scuffs here and there. The locks are all working save for the very bottom drawer which is unable to be locked (but the drawer does open and close). I've thoroughly cleaned and polished the drawers and desk with beeswax polish and it is gleaming. If you'd like to see more detailed photos of anything, please don't hesitate to contact me.
