In historic country house condition and heavily bleached by the sun. Numerous small repairs, losses and replacements to the veneers and mouldings. The handles probably an early replacement. The doors originally fitted with mirrored panels but now with grained wood in their place. The interior of the upper section and the base retaining the original metalwork and a rich hone colour. The bracket feet replaced and originally fitted with bun or ball feet with consequent apertures at each corner. The bureau section is designed without pull-out lopers to support the fall flap, which is intended to rest on the frieze drawer below.
