This exquisite early 18th century bureau bookcase is finely crafted in the Queen Anne style with dramatic form and burled walnut veneered exterior inlaid with contrasting woods. Beneath a broken arched pediment with turned finial, two mirrored doors open to reveal a beautifully fitted interior containing six pigeon holes and nine small drawers. The slanted fall-back top of the secretaire base opens to another elegant interior of six drawers and six pigeon holes. The central door is decorated with a parquetry design of a tiled floor and archway, flanked by two pilasters containing secret compartments. The handles are gilt bronze as are the double eagle escutcheons with coronets. A show-stopping piece in any interior, this grand bureau is a fantastic example of Queen Anne furniture design.
