Antique Painted Writing Bureau Desk on Cabriole Legs in Farrow and Ball Railings
An elegant hand made lockable antique mahogany bureau / writing desk with four drawers sitting on beautiful cabriole legs with ball and claw feet. Dating from the Victorian era, internally it is beautifully fitted with pigeon holes, a small lockable storage compartment and six further small drawers. The desk has supports which are opened manually and it is well proportioned and is in very good order with the beautiful original solid brass handles which I have cleaned and polished by hand (not painted over or replaced!). The bureau has been carefully sanded and restored and has been painted in Farrow & Ball's timeless deep and dark 'Railings' Modern Eggshell. Railings is more blue than black, and is a softer alternative to black. This piece would be a fabulous addition to a home office, hallway, dining room, landing or indeed any contemporary room.
Condition:
This piece is in very good condition with no damage to note apart from the minor nicks, dents and previous age related repairs which are to be expected with pieces of this age and adds to their character. The key to the drawers has since been misplaced however I have fitted a brand new lock with key to the writing desk. The drawers open and close with ease.
I’m not a ‘furniture flipper’; I don’t turnover large quantities of quickly refinished pieces; I spend huge amounts of time and care and on each piece and pour parts of my soul into each item. I specialise in refinishing vintage and antique furniture and I spend hours hand picking each of my pieces locally and I don’t sell anything that I wouldn’t have in my own home. 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.
