A home office, study or living room benefits from furniture that combines useful storage with a dedicated writing space. This oak bureau bookcase offers both in one tall, space-efficient piece, providing room for books, paperwork and display items while also creating a practical desk area when required. The upper section features two glazed doors opening to adjustable shelving, while the fall-front bureau opens to reveal a writing surface with internal pigeonholes and a small central drawer. Below sits a wide drawer and a double-door cupboard with internal shelving, offering further concealed storage. Carved detailing across the cornice, drawer front, bureau panels and cupboard doors gives the piece plenty of traditional character, complemented by decorative metal hinges and fittings. The previous finish has been stripped back, and multiple coats of hard-wearing matte lacquer have been applied to protect the surface while bringing out the natural oak colour and grain. The restoration preserves the carved detail and warm appearance of the timber while providing a more durable finish for regular use. This item is made from oak, apart from the back panels, which are made from plywood. Its combination of display space, enclosed storage and a fold-down writing desk makes this a particularly versatile piece for a study or living area. The detailed oak construction gives it a distinctive appearance while remaining practical for everyday use. [dimensions][w]76[/w][h]177[/h][d]45[/d][/dimensions]
