Antique Painted Writing Bureau / Writing Desk in Farrow and Ball Off Black
Description:
A beautiful antique hand made carved oak lockable bureau / writing desk, probably dating to 1900's with three drawers and storage compartments internally, along with red leather writing pad. There are wooden desk supports underneath the writing slope and brass supports inside which open automatically when the slope is opened. The desk has been carefully sanded, primed and painted in Farrow & Ball's timeless 'Off Black' Modern Eggshell and the drawers have been lined with a beautiful ebony damask paper. 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 leather writing pad is marked from the years of previous use, as can be seen from the photo. 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.
