Item Description
A rare 18th Century burr elm bureau bookcase. More commonly seen in walnut, this piece is constructed using the highly prized burr elm.
The upper section features a pair of architectural panelled doors, while the fall-front opens to reveal a theatre interior - a sophisticated, multi-tiered arrangement of concave drawers and pigeonholes. Built to the highest standards of the period, the piece features oak drawer linings.
The brass swan-neck handles are a later period replacement (19th/early 20th century). The interior shelves have also been sympathetically replaced more recently.
Bears a faint inscription handwritten inscription to the interior cupboard door: "L Friedler 30727" Most probably interpreted as a date: 30/07/1927 - perhaps a previous owner. An interesting detail which can be removed if preferred.
