This is a simply superb example of a Victorian bonheur du jour, or ladies writing desk, crafted from burr walnut and sumptuously inlaid, dating from around 1860.

The gorgeous grain and colour of the burr walnut, the fabulous inlaid decoration and the exquisite ormolu mounts ensure that this bureau de dame will be admired wherever it finds itself.

The fall front of this delightful Victorian bonheur du jour opens to reveal a rosewood and kingwood interior, featuring the original gold tooled burgundy inset leather writing surface, a bank of three drawers and a slide that allows one to access the hidden space below. The top has a pair of cupboards with glazed doors – ideal to display your ornaments – flanking a small drawer and mirror. All the drawers have original working locks and keys. The bureau itself stands on beautiful, slender cabriole legs.

A Victorian bonheur du jour of this elegance and quality is rare indeed and has to be seen to be believed – a truly exquisite piece.
