Antique Bureaus
Bureau bookcase. English. Elm & Pine.
Circa 1800.
An imposing country bureau bookcase, with a superb original patina and also hiding a number of secret drawers on the inside.
We have seen many pieces of furniture with the same design scratched onto them using a compass, It usualy appears on the backs of doors, backboards and bottoms and sides of drawers, we believe it was done to ward off evil spirits.
