Walnut Bureau

$14,000

This two-piece fold top walnut bureau bookcase was started a number of years ago and then put on hold for other pressing projects, it is yet to be finished. I've placed a few of the decorative pieces to show this piece in progress. These photographs show the lavish design and elaborate ornamentation in the bureau. The upper half is a bookcase behind the two center doors, with a curved glass door on either side, with cranberry glass display shelves. My purpose for publishing these photographs, is in the hopes of finding a buyer so that I might complete this beautiful work.

The primary focus of Gallivan's Art Furniture, GArtFurniture.com is the creation of three-dimensional art, through the medium of the world's most precious exotic hardwoods, in the form of furniture. Combining the skills of furniture and cabinet making, hand carving, inlay and marquetry. And using only the natural colors of the wood.

We invite you to tour our gallery. Here you will find a chair otherwise known as The Throne, so named because of its massive size and extravagant carving and inlay this piece is an original with over 8000 hours in its creation. You will also see one of my favorites, the Rosewood Lamp, this piece was lavishly carved using five different types of hardwood including a bouquet of yellow roses. All of the wood in this piece including the yellow satin wood roses are their natural colors. The roses themselves are carved from solid blocks of hardwood.

We are also referred to as Gallivan's Art Furniture and the Hand Carved Rose / GArtFurniture

We've carved many roses over the years, including Rose bouquet's. Some of our roses are designed with a concealed pocket to place an anniversary ring or engagement ring in.
These bouquets include:
long stemmed 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and one dozen roses.
All of our roses are original and one-of-a-kind. These roses are carved freehand without a pattern, and strictly from the imagination. Starting from a solid block of wood, minute by minute, hour by hour small bits of wood are carved away and slowly a rose begins to come into focus. As each day passes it becomes more refined until finally the finish sanding is complete and the rose is fully blossomed into a flower of great beauty and satisfaction. A great part of the satisfaction is bringing pleasure to other peoples lives as they examine all the intricate detail involved in a single rose.
