dutch bombe shaped oak bureau

Circa 1820, good Dutch bombe shaped oak bureau. The classic bombe shaped flap has a very stylish open fretwork escutcheon. It opens to reveal an unusual combination inside of a well in the centre, a tambour fronted cupboard containing a single drawer, and various pigeon holes and drawers with shaped fronts. There are 2 large brass strap hinges holding the flap in position and beneath this instead of lopers there are 2 drawers which carry the weight of the flap. Beneath this there is a combination of 3 concave and convex drawers. The escutcheons and the handles are all similar with open fretwork. There are 2 large proud pilasters on the facings with a flat section on the side following the shape and form of the drawers on the front. Beneath the bottom drawer there is a deep shaped apron. The whole piece stands on stylish carved front legs with ball and claw feet. The bureau is a good size with excellent colour and condition.

Georgian Antiques

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
