Description
George III Mahogany Writing Bureau, Circa 1800 — Provenance from Burry Court Antiques A truly exceptional George III mahogany writing bureau dating from circa 1800, with verified provenance from Burry Court Antiques, one of the UK’s most trusted sources for fine period furniture. This piece is an outstanding example of late Georgian craftsmanship—beautifully proportioned, richly patinated, and preserved in excellent condition. The bureau features four graduated drawers, each oak-lined and retaining their original brass swan-neck handles and escutcheons. The fall-front desk, crossbanded in mahogany, opens to reveal a meticulously fitted interior with small drawers and pigeonholes—perfectly suited to writing instruments, correspondence, or personal ledgers. Its compact proportions and timeless design make it both a functional piece of antique furniture and a statement of historical refinement. The craftsmanship is unmistakably Georgian, with hand-cut dovetail joints, solid oak drawer linings, and elegant bracket feet—hallmarks of English cabinetry from the early 19th century. The surface bears a deep, warm patina, the result of over two centuries of care and preservation. Originally acquired through The Swan at Tetsworth in August 2008, this piece combines authenticity, charm, and heritage—ideal for period homes, collectors of Georgian furniture, or designers curating historic interiors.
