Antique Victorian Painted Kneehole Writing Desk in Farrow & Ball Railings
Description:
With bags of character, this is a Victorian hand made mahogany kneehole writing desk on turned legs, probably dating to 1850's. It has two long drawers with a further two smaller drawers below, each with the original brass handles which I've cleaned and polished by hand.
I've also lined the drawers with an ebony damask paper and I've carefully sanded and restored the desk and refinished it in Farrow & Ball's dark and handsome 'Railings' Modern Eggshell. 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 cracks which are to be expected with vintage and antique pieces and adds to their character. 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.
