Great Vintage Oak Minty of Oxford Bureau Bookcase With Original Invoice
This one is looking particularly sharp having enjoyed a careful 1 owner previous life. We get offered lots of Mintys and unfortunately most have succumbed to a shed or barn existence but this one survives in great order having been gently used. It has a lovely tone to the oak and the particularly good looking combi is very useful too. This one comes with its original invoice from Minty along with the period brochure and key – all helping its cause.
The chrome lock fitting on the inside is a nice period touch as is the shaped base. As mentioned, the storage and desk combo is so useful with the well kitted out interior pigeon holes which can be used for correspondence, books or for storing your laptop. The drop door bureau doubles as a desk surface and two glazed bookcases below.
Workshop report - This one has been well cared for and sensibly used. We have lightly waxed the piece and it is glowing well in its original finish. The glass on all slides are crack free. The chrome lock is shining well with no pitting or cracks. The inside of the bureau is lightly marked but nothing nasty. Expect a well-cared for piece with no offensive marks, just signs of day to day usage. The key and lock work and have been lubricated for good measure.
A classic piece of Minty in fine order.
