The term "bureau" in literature often functions on two intertwined levels—one as a formal institution and the other as a piece of furniture. In works like Maupassant’s narrative ([1]) and Du Bois’s social analysis ([2],[3],[4]), “bureau” denotes an organized body or governmental agency involved in official or administrative tasks. Conversely, authors such as Casanova ([5],[6],[7]) and Conan Doyle ([8],[9],[10]) employ “bureau” in a domestic or intimate sense, referring to a writing desk or a chest of drawers that holds personal or secret documents. This dual usage—ranging from the functional realm of regulatory institutions (as seen in ethnological reports like those in Mooney’s writings ([11],[12],[13])) to the evocative imagery of cluttered personal spaces (as in Balzac ([14]) and Fielding ([15]))—allows writers to layer meaning and lend authenticity to both public and private spheres within their narratives.
