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

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

Description:

This is a beautiful rustic antique solid oak writing bureau / writing desk with two drawers and a drop down desk with supports which open automatically when the slope is opened. Inside there is a further small drawer, storage compartments and a writing leather which I have replaced with a brand new antiqued and beautifully gilded leather skiver. This stunning desk is well proportioned and houses the original drawers handles which I have cleaned and polished by hand to restore the original beauty. I have fitted a brand new lock and key and the bureau has been carefully sanded, restored and cleaned and has been hand painted externally in Farrow & Ball's timeless and daringly dark 'Down Pipe' Estate Eggshell. The drawers have been lined internally with a beautiful dark patterned damask paper. This piece would be a fabulous addition to a 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 dents and imperfections which are to be expected with the age of this antique piece and adds to its character. The writing leather has been replaced with a brand new leather skiver and the lock and key are brand new. I don't just slap on a coat of chalk 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 3/4 coats to ensure a high quality finish. My pieces aren't distressed or shabby chic - they will distress naturally over time with general wear and tear
