A Table Top Bureau

A George I black lacquer and Chinoiserie decorated table top bureau circa 1720. The fall front opening to a leather writing surface around an arrangement of drawers and pigeon holes.

Can you imagine what has been written on this practical item of furniture? A famous novel or letters of passion for example or even just the ubiquitous thank you letter after a delightful social occasion. Whatever its use this very pretty desk top will certainly add style to any drawing room or study.
