<p>[QUOTE="Adrian Lewis, post: 2656844, member: 12565"]In England we call these drop-leaf or fall front bureaus. Can't see it as English. The drawer knobs, the brass escutcheon plate and the numeral style on the back don't look right for English or fit for the period 20's. Also nobody really would have put a Georgian bracket foot on what looks like some sort of Gothic Revival piece.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
