THIS IS A BUREAU BOOKCASE, IT IS A QUALITY PIECE FROM THE 1930s/ 40s. IT IS SOLID OAK. THE TOP SECTION IS A GLAZED BOOKCASE WITH SHELVES.
THE BUREAU OPENS UP AND RESTS ON LOPERS, THE INTERIOR OF THE BUREAU IS FITTED WITH PIGEON HOLES AND SMALL DRAWERS. IT STANDS ON A STURDY FRAME. IT IS A GREAT PIECE IN A TRADITIONAL STYLE. THERE IS SOME WEAR AND TEAR. IN AVERAGE CONDITION.
THIS LOOKS OK AS IT IS, BUT COULD EASILY BE STRIPPED OR PAINTED. PLEASE SEEK ADVICE BEFORE STRIPPING OLD PAINT AND USE THE CORRECT SAFETY EQUIPMENT. IT WOULD LOOK GREAT PAINTED IN A CONTEMPORY COLOUR TO GIVE IT A STYLISH NEW LOOK. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT TALL FURNITURE SHOULD BE SAFELY SECURED TO THE WALL WITH SCREWS / BRACKETS FOR SAFETY.
