Vintage Black Painted Bureau / Writing Desk / Secretaire with Ball and Claw Feet

Vintage Black Painted Bureau / Writing Desk / Secretaire with Ball and Claw Feet

Description:

This is such an elegant bureau / writing desk on long cabriole legs with ball and claw feet. It benefits from three drawers and internally has storage compartments along with a further small drawer and has desk supports which open automatically when the writing slope is opened. This elegant desk is well proportioned and is in very good order with the original brass handles which I have cleaned and polished by hand (not painted over or replaced!) and the lock and key also still working. It has been carefully sanded and restored and has been painted in Farrow & Ball's timeless 'Off Black' Modern Eggshell. The drawers have been lined iwith a silver grey 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 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 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.
