A Rare Grain-Painted Bureau

 

These grain-painted pieces are early and difficult to find.  This one is rarely seen as the top lifts up to display a mirror with gilt gold trim. There is a shallow box lot area to store items like linens (as they are not thick and don't require a lot of space). So table linens would look very nice….one could leave the top up! There are two cupboard areas below for storage. The appearance of a drawer above the storage area is not real, there is a knob to give the appearance of a drawer! The turned knob feet are in great condition too. (I would consider this piece – large scale)
