Etsy - YellowPigeonVintage Antique Painted Writing Bureau/Desk Secretaire in Farrow & Ball Off Black
Description
Description: A beautiful antique hand made solid oak bureau / writing desk, probably dating to early 1900's. It sits on carved legs with two drawers & internally has storage compartments along with a further small drawer. There are desk supports which pull out to support the desktop & I have fitted a brand new replacement antiqued leather writing pad. This desk is well proportioned & is in very good order with handles which I have cleaned & polished by hand (not painted over or replaced!) & a lock & key for the writing slope also still working. It has been carefully sanded & restored & has been painted in Farrow & Ball's timeless 'Off Black' Modern Eggshell & I have lined the drawers with an ebony damask patterned paper. 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 excellent condition with no major damage to note apart from the minor nicks, dents & previous repairs which are to be expected with vintage & antique pieces & adds to their character. The antiqued leather writing pad is brand new, having been replaced by myself & I've replaced the brass hinges with brand new ones. The corners of the desktop have suffered some damaged in the past but I feel this is of no detriment in terms of use or aethetically. Please contact me for detailed photos if required. I don't just slap on a coat of chalk or mineral paint on my pieces & call them upcycled - each of my pieces undergoes a lengthy process of restoration & preparation before being painstakingly stripped, cleaned, restored, woodworm treated if there is any sign of historic woodworm, primed & undercoated before painting a minimum of six coats & a protective lacquer to ensure a high quality finish. Dimensions (all sizes are approximate): Height: 100cm Width: 76.5cm Depth: 39.5cm Height from floor to desktop 73cm Delivery: Delivery is free to Mainland UK (excluding Scotland & Cornwall) via a fully bubble wrapped & blanketed service to ground floor & I shall be in touch directly after your purchase to arrange a suitable delivery date. I work with a specialist courier who provides a two man service where possible & delivery can usually be arranged within one week, depending on your location. I've set it to longer than this on the listing as Etsy penalises for missed dispatch times. If you live in a remote location there may be a delivery surcharge; please contact me with your post code for a quote. Alternatively, I live in Shropshire & collection can be arranged, if preferred. Contact: If you would like any further information or additional photographs please do not hesitate to contact me. Each of my pieces are also available for purchase via my website www.yellowpigeonbespokefurniture.co.uk.
