  Vintage Painted Ladies Walnut Writing Bureau / Writing Desk on Cabriole Legs in Little Greene Jewel Beetle
  A striking lockable walnut dropdown bureau / writing desk on long carved cabriole legs fitted internally with storage compartments and a small drawer and two further drawers beneath the desk. It is in very good order with the original handles and escutcheon which I have cleaned and polished by hand and the original lock and key still working well. The desk has been carefully sanded and restored and has been hand painted externally in Little Greene Paint Co's deep and dark Room 'Jewel Beetle' Intelligent Eggshell and on this piece looks stunning. A fabulous addition to a hallway, home office, landing or indeed any contemporary room.
  This piece is in excellent condition with no major damage and the original writing leather looks to have barely been used. The drawers and desk open and close with ease. There are minor marks and sign of previous use inside the drawers but this is to be expected with vintage and antique pieces and I feel adds to their character. 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. I also apply a lacquer to high traffic surfaces for extra durability.
