Vintage Oak Bureau c1910

Vintage Oak Bureau c1910
This has been in our family for at least four generations.

Made in England, it originally belonged to my great grandmother, then my father's aunt, then my father, and this year my father gave it to me.

An antique bureau full of young paperbacks :-)

Texture, my own, sands of time :-)

What a beautiful old bureau!

We have something similar, but a mere 65 years old!

The alternative shot makes me homesick for my old job as a librarian!
