oak bureau bookcase

Circa 1900, unusual tambour fronted sectional bureau with glazed cabinet on top. With a top ledge and flat oak section with carved rondel in the centre to the top. Beneath the polished top section are several polished mouldings and a large glazed door with Jacobean beading, canted and diamond sections, and small rondels in the corner. A brass knob to the base opens the door into the body of the bureau, revealing a small removable shelf and a polished interior. A tambour pull down section is below this with a carved section similar to the ledge, and to the middle a classic roll top escutcheon. There are various pigeon drawers and 2 small drawers, 1 left and 1 right with a cast brass handle similar to that on the glazed section. The writing surface can be pushed back in, so when the tambour is closed the inside is secure. Beneath this are 2 drawers with pear shaped handles, beading down the centre and back plates. Between the drawers there is a beading that runs down the centre. The panel doors have a carved circular rondel and a Jacobean style beading around the centre panel. The shaped apron leads on to 4 squat barley sugar legs with blocks and turned feet beneath it, and a combination of cross stretchers, and an H-stretcher.

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.
