Antique Art Deco and Modernist BUREAU BOOKCASES
Bureau bookcases appear to have languished a bit in the mid-Victorian period. There was a continuation of production of the sub-classical types of the 1840s but on the whole writing was at desks and books were in
cabinets. Perhaps the pieces of Burges and Shaw exhibited in 1862 revived a taste for bureau bookcases; anyway by the 1880s they were back in swing and by the 1890s the Edwardian Sheraton bureau bookcase in
mahogany was being reproduced in huge numbers.
The rather tantalising piece possibly by GodwinBurges-Eastlake-Shaw discussed in the Furniture Styles Data on the Anglo-Japanese period. Here it is shown with the fall open to reveal the carefully-fitted interior.
c.1880
An oak bureau bookcase of a type illustrated by several furniture makers in the 1900-1910 period. Similar designs occur in Graham & Banks c.1899 in mahogany, J.S. Henry 1900, Timms and Webb 1904 and Norman & Stacey’s catalogue of c.1910, showing how commercial manufacturers followed the progressive furniture movement. The copper hinges to the bookcase doors, with their distinctive shaping, are `art nouveau’ in
inspiration, but the piece is too rectilinear for Continental origins. The fretting of the bookshelves and the leaded glass doors are typical of the period, as is the rather quirky arrangement of drawers and enormous
pigeon holes. The lantern has been added later by a rather unsympathetic soul, doubtless anxious to penetrate the central gloom inherent in the design. 1900-1910
An ebonised Aesthetic Movement bureau bookcase with a fretted top, painted panels, panelled construction and turned supports typical of the Art Furniture Movement. c. 1880
A mahogany bureau bookcase which aims at being a reproduction of a late 18th century piece. Once again, however, the Edwardian desire to go slightly one better than the original has given the game away. The falls
of 18th century mahogany bureaux were not quarter veneered in the way this one has been, giving a diamond-shaped effect to the figure. Nor was the inlaid boxwood stringing arranged in an elaborately curved patterned panel. The glazing bar arrangement on the bookcase doors could also probably be shown to be a later form. 1900-1920
A mahogany bureau bookcase of George III ‘design’, with a broken pediment above the bookcase and satinwood banding throughout. A good three foot wide reproduction which, apart from its missing or broken front bracket feet, follows the original line quite correctly. The Midland Furnishing Company sold an almost identical version for 6. 6. 0. in 1910. Note that the bracket feet are damaged at the front. These bureaux are now standard ‘trade’ items and many of them still exist. The value of this example is helped by the curved broken pediment 1900-1925
A Sheraton style bureau-cabinet on square tapering legs ending in block feet. The upper cabinet is fitted with bevelled plate glass doors. There is a hinged, folding top to the writing area, which folds over to give a
greater surface area and is lined with leather. The roller shutter slides back to reveal pigeon holes and drawers inside. 1900-1910
A chinoiserie lacquered double-domed bureau bookcase in the Queen Anne style on bun feet. In this case the makers have decided on a bureau form incorporating a kneehole, which is not a version very often found in the original period of 1710-1730 to which the style relates, but it is possible. The gilded carving on top of the domes incorporates scroll and leaf forms. The bun feet are to give it an ‘early’ look, i.e. to imply that the
piece belongs to the transition from Williamand-Mary bun feet (1690-1710) to Queen Anne but before bracket feet came into greater fashion (1710 onwards). Obviously requiring enormous time and skill to produce but lesser quality versions (without the top carving) are still made by the trade, often in a green colour, and sold to the U.S.A. for about. for subsequent auctioneering as `period’ and massively increased margin. This high-quality piece was made around 1920 and is pretty faithful to the original proportion and feel of the period except for the slightly thin top mouldings  although the makers would claim that this thinness is justified when top carving and gilding is involved, since the eye does not rest on the top moulding but goes up immediately to the gilded tops. c. 1920
A 3ft. wide mahogany bureau bookcase on thin cabriole legs, of a type much produced from Edwardian times into the 1930s. The top, glazed cabinet has a reasonably robust approach to life but the legs are well and
truly mean in proportion. It may be useful, it may be neatly made but the mass-produced look is deeply ingrained upon it. 1900-1930
A characteristic oak `Jacobethan’ bureau bookcase on stretchered bulbous feet. The leaded glazing bars are typical and the geometric mouldings to the fall and drawer fronts  to give that ‘Jacobean’ look  are to be
found on most versions.
BUREAUX  bonheurs-du-jour
The bonheur-du-jour of French Empire inspiration appears to have died out in its early 19th century form, but during the Victorian ‘Louis XIV’ rococo period it re-emerged in burr or figured walnut as an elegant French piece. The examples show how the type prevailed through the vagaries of fashion as a suitable desk for a lady of means.
A walnut bonheur-du-jour of very French inspiration but in fact made by an English reproducer, with locks by a Birmingham firm. The boxwood inlays are of stylised flowers and semi-naturalistic forms. The two upper cupboards flanking the central mirror have glazed doors and pierced brass gallery rails above. The fitted interior has a well. An interesting example of how the Louis XV-rococo style, popular in England in its own adapted form, could be more faithfully reproduced  with variations, of course  almost as the local English form was dying. C. & R. Light illustrate a very similar model in their 1881 catalogue. 1860-1885
A satinwood inlaid bonheur-du-jour with a central domed mirror flanked by cupboard doors inlaid with marquetry. The square tapering legs curve elegantly outwards towards the ends. Altogether a very delicate and finely-made piece of Edwardian lady’s equipment. 1900-1910
A quite elegant writing table or bonheur-du-jour in the Edwardian Sheraton manner, with extensive inlays in boxwood and ivory. The drawers are banded in satinwood. The tapering square section legs end in brass
castors and are connected by curving cross stretchers. The arcaded central section of the top is mirrored behind and the spindled top gallery sports characteristic finials. 1895-1910
A mahogany bonheur-du-jour in the Sheraton manner on tapering square section legs ending in castors. The inlaid decoration is of flowers, patera and husks. The front surface folds over outwards to provide an extra
area of writing surface, supported by pulling out the drawer, which has a baize-lined top edge to prevent scratching. 1900-1910
A rosewood cylinder bureau, inlaid with marquetry dolphins, flowers and stringing lines. The arched cresting rail has an applied reeded or gadrooned vase and is a feature of much Edwardian furniture (without the
vase). The square tapering legs end in castors. Inside the tambour top there is a pull-out writing surface and a fitted interior.
BUREAUX  cylinder front
The cylinder front became a popular Edwardian form usually associated with higher quality bureaux. It was, of course, due to the popularity in revival of late 18th/early 19th century furniture of the Sheraton type that
this vogue took place. Cylinder fronts still tend to be highly regarded despite the fact that they are somewhat subject to damage due to splitting and warpage in centrally heated conditions. Warpage can cause them to jam or lock in one position and repairs can be expensive.
A ratner plain mahogany cylinder front bureau with three long drawers and mounted on bracket feet. The drawers and cylinder fall are crossbanded in satinwood in the characteristic Sheraton manner.
A mahogany cylinder fall bureau in a somewhat Chippendale style of execution with Chinese fretted brackets at the tops of the square tapering legs. Note the carved decoration, which includes lion-mask handles to the
cylinder fall. c. 1920

BUREAUX  reproduction, on legs
This section covers several types of bureaux which emulate earlier styles with varying degrees of accuracy. They are mainly small pieces of furniture intended for occasional use.
A made-up oak desk on stand with an interesting contrast of styles which works quite well. The top desk section has been carved in 17th century style and has a false drawer with two rectangular moulded panels on the front. The base is pad-footed in the style of George II, say around 1730 to 1740 and has been carved to match the top. A decorator’s piece. 1870-1890
A mahogany bureau with rather striped crossbanding, on turned legs with inverted cups of William and Mary inspiration. A combination of styles from late 17th to late 18th century which is feeble, particularly in the
inlaid central motif in the fall, which is neither one thing nor t’other. To be exported joyfully. 1900-1910
A further bureau in the Sheratoncum-William and Mary manner made, like the previous example, in mahogany. The overall effect is thin and cheap. 1900-1910
An oak bureau of Queen Anne inspiration in style, on tapering legs ending in pad feet. It has a lot of pigeon holes inside, two long drawers under the fall and, like many of these Edwardian pieces, is rather small
2ft.6ins. wide.
A japanned bureau of Chippendale ‘design’, decorated with chinoiserie features and with a pot stand on the turned cross stretchers between the legs. A decorator’s piece. 1920-1940
A lacquer and mahogany bureau in the Queen Anne style of the 1920s, on cabriole legs. The fall front encloses a fitted interior on the lines of its early 18th century inspiration. The chinoiserie lacquer is of a type which, along with ‘Queen Anne’ burr walnut of many quarterings, gained a tremendous popularity in the 1920s and early 1930s. Not cheap because many would try to sell it as a period piece. 1920-1930
A 1920s reproduction in which both lacquer chinoiserie work and a gilt stand are combined. In emulation of something Queen Anne but, again, really a decorator’s piece. c. 1920
The classic oak `Jacobethan’ bureau of the 1920s and 1930s. Raised on twist-turned legs of Restoration Stuart origin and with moulded geometric panels on the drawer fronts dating from slightly later Stuart examples.
So popular that the genus was made in vast numbers and is now being avidly traded in the ’shipping goods’ business to overseas buyers. 1920-1940
A burr walnut bureau on high cabriole legs ending in pad feet. Quite clearly intended as a reproduction of a Queen Anne period piece of quality. The legs are well made and shaped from solid walnut and are carved with scroll decoration ending in slightly Adam-classical pendant leaf decoration on the knee. The squared lip moulding around the legs below the knee is a period feature. Where the departure from the original starts is in the veneers  fall and drawers much too burr, contrasting too much with the straight-grained sides and banded carcase front, and the embellished top corners (the idea for which comes from the period use of re-entrant corners), and  most telling, this  the lack of any finish to the drawer edges to relate them to the carcase edges which are cross-banded. A period piece would have those drawer edges either lip-moulded, cock-beaded or at least crossbanded themselves. The proportion of the drawers is another point  the chances are that a period piece would have only had one drawer of a shallower dimension than these, which are a little too square in proportion for the piece. 1920-1930
The version as the late ’20s and ’30s saw it  the bulbous legs retained to give a Jacobethan effect but turned with rings of modernistic type. The top has been chamfered off at the corners to give what would now be
thought of as an art deco look.
