Antique Painted Writing Bureau / Writing Desk in Farrow and Ball Off Black

Antique Painted Writing Bureau / Writing Desk in Farrow and Ball Off Black

Description:

A beautiful antique hand made bureau / writing desk, probably dating to 1900's. It sits on carved legs with two drawers and internally has storage compartments along with a further small drawer and there are wooden desk supports underneath the writing slope which open automatically when the slope is opened. The drawers have the original handles which I have cleaned and polished by hand (not painted over or replaced!) and the writing slope is lockable. The desk has been carefully sanded, primed and 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 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, however as this beauty is more than 100 years old, please don't expect a piece in perfectly mint condition! 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.
