Stunning Vintage Painted Ladies Writing Bureau Desk on Cabriole Legs in Farrow and Ball Off Black

Vintage Painted Ladies Bureau on Cabriole Legs in Farrow and Ball Off Black

An elegant hand made lockable vintage mahogany ladies bureau / writing desk with two drawers sitting on beautiful cabriole legs. Internally it is fitted with pigeon holes, a small drawer and writing pad, along with brass supports inside which opened automatically when the desk is opened. The brass handles are original and I have cleaned and polished by hand (not painted over or replaced!). The bureau has been carefully sanded and restored and has been professionally painted in Farrow & Ball's timeless deep and dark 'Off Black' Modern Eggshell and on this piece looks stunning. Off Black is a soft black and is more flattering to adjacent colours than strong blacks. 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 very good condition with no damage to note apart from the minor nicks, dents and previous age related repairs which are to be expected with pieces of this age and adds to their character. There are some marks to the writing pad, please see photos. The drawers open and close with ease and the desk also locks and unlocks easily.

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 of genuine Farrow and Ball eggshell to ensure a high quality finish. Yellow Pigeon Vintage has more than 10 years experience in restoring furniture. I wrap each of my pieces with care for transit with eco friendly recyclable packaging.
