Description

MISSION 9 DRAWER BUREAU #823

THE BUREAU IS 34.5" TALL AND THE TOP IS 21 X 64.It has beautiful Cast Brass pulls.

The finest construction techniques were used to make this piece of casework. There are dovetailed drawers that have center guides and are side hung on handmade wooden glides. Full, solid dust panels between the drawers, are dovetailed into the legs. Corner blocks on the dust panels assure that this piece will be solid for many, many decades.

34.5" tall X 21" deep X 64" long

#6- 8" Deep Drawers, and #3 - 5" Deep Drawers. Hand cut paneled sides. FULL dust panels for strength. Side hung, Center guided, Dovetailed drawers glide smooth as silk on their wooden runners. 5/4" thick top...MASSIVE throughout, these pieces weigh nearly 400 lbs!!!

Case pieces are a thorough test of our talent. Never a production piece, each one develops a "personality" in the shop. The drawers and case are numbered, and the piece is signed and given a shop # for future reference. We keep full notes on the construction and finish.
The drawers are center guided and side hung on handmade, hardwood glides and slides. 5/4" lumber is used on the case and top, and the side paneling is resawn and matched from thicker boards. Traditional mortise and tenon construction. The dust panels are dovetailed into the legs. The drawers are dovetailed construction.
FULL dust panels and reinforced at all stress points. The case is battleship strong. The piston fit of the drawers rewards with a satisfying "woosh" of air as the drawers are opened and closed. The case is sealed and the air enters and exits at the top in back....no drawing floor dust into the case onto your clothes !!
I could go on and on. Our case pieces are our finest work. Long hours are spent assembling and fitting each and every component. Prior to that, every detail is considered.
We have a wide range of drawer pulls available, this piece has our favorite on it. Cast bronze, they are artfully crafted, cleanly fashioned and comfortable.

CURRENTLY, OUR LEAD TIME IS UP TO 6 MONTHS. To many people, this is not a problem. For years, we tried to maintain some work in stock. That has become nearly impossible now.

PLEASE CONTACT US TO SEE WHAT THE LEAD TIME ON A PIECE LIKE THIS WOULD BE.

These weigh 400 lbs when shipped!! Shipping includes Residential Delivery, and 150% insurance. Freight is calculated at the time of purchase, based on the destination town and zip. We recommend that you purchase the optional liftgate service ( approx. $65. ) and have several people ready to help unload, disassemble, carry into the house, and reassemble. NEVER carry a case piece by the top with all the drawers in !!!
