This bureau ressembles the distinctive style of Coxed and Woster, the London cabinet makers based at St. Paul's Churchyard between 1700-36. They veneered pieces in walnut, mulberry or burr-elm, sometimes crossbanded with kingwood or inlaid with pewter stringing. Their trade label included 'Buro's, chests of Drawers' as well as 'cabinets, scrutoures, Desks and Bookcases' as part of their stock
