Antique Painted Oak Writing Bureau / Desk in Farrow & Ball Downpipe

Antique Painted Oak Writing Bureau / Desk in Farrow & Ball Downpipe

Antique Painted Oak Writing Bureau / Writing Desk / Secretaire in Farrow and Ball Downpipe

Description:

Who wouldn't want to work from home on this beautiful linen fold hand made oak lockable writing bureau / writing desk?! Probably dating to 1900's it has a single drawer and double cabinet below and is fitted internally with storage compartments. There are wooden desk supports underneath the writing desk which open manually to support the desk which is lockable with the original lock and key to store everything away securely after use. The desk has been carefully sanded, primed and painted in Farrow & Ball's timeless and daringly dark 'Downpipe' Modern Eggshell. A fabulous addition to a home office, hallway, dining room, landing or indeed any contemporary room.

Condition:

This piece is in excellent antique condition having had plenty of use over the years! There is no major damage to note apart from the minor nicks, dents and previous repairs which are to be expected with antique pieces and adds to their character. The drawer and doors open with ease and internally I have thoroughly cleaned the drawer and cabinet. I don't just slap on a coat of chalk or mineral paint on my pieces and call them upcycled - each of my pieces undergoes a lengthy process of restoration and preparation before being painstakingly stripped, cleaned, restored, woodworm treated if there is any sign of historic woodworm, primed and undercoated before painting a minimum of 4 coats to ensure a high quality finish.
