Antique Painted Writing Bureau / Writing Desk in Farrow and Ball Off Black
Description:
A beautiful antique hand made bureau / writing desk, with one drawer and a cupboard beneath with shelves. Internally the writing desk has storage compartments and brass desk supports which open automatically when the desk is opened, and externally it has the original handles and lock escutcheons which I have cleaned and gilded with gold leaf. The lock and key for the writing slope are still working. It has been carefully sanded and restored and has been painted in Farrow & Ball's timeless 'Off Black' Modern Eggshell and I have lined the drawers with an ebony damask paper. 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 good condition with no damage to note apart from the minor nicks, dents and previous repairs which are to be expected with vintage and antique pieces and adds to their character. 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.
