In 1999 David Linley and his team of designers and makers decided to celebrate the Millenium with a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship.  Several subjects were discussed for this but the final decision was made to make a bureau/bookcase based on Blenheim Palace, the home of the Duke of Marlborough.

This unique piece of furniture can be seen in Blenheim Palace. One of the greatest examples of English Baroque architecture and designed by Sir John Vanburgh and Nicholas Hawksmoor the Palace lends itself perfectly to David Linley’s classically inspired furniture.

The Blenheim Bureau stands nearly nine feet tall and over five feet wide. Constructed in beautiful French polished mahogany and flame mahogany veneers the Bureau is beautifully decorated with gilded ormolu and carving and incorporates many of the outstanding features which make David Linley’s furniture unique.
