Antique Solid Oak Bureau With A Scalloped Edge & Bobbin Trim

Every piece we restore in this design starts as a beautifully made antique, full of history, charm, and character. Built over 100 years ago using authentic traditional joinery.

We take the restoration of our pieces very seriously and always aim to ensure full functionality and a perfect result without affecting their historical character. This is why we always take a very conservative approach to restoration and make every effort to honour the original construction of each piece, while reconstituting it entirely to ensure it remains fully operational for a very long time.

Every piece we restore comes with a beautiful set of traditional, hand-carved barley twist legs. This classic turning pattern, reminiscent of a rope twist, adds intricate detail and a fluid, textured design that is authentic to the design language of its age.

A signature feature of our brand, in keeping with the antique design, is the scalloped edge. Each arch is shaped from solid oak into a prominent and decorative pattern that is highlighted by hand using a neutral coloured water based paint.

For added texture and a playful twist, we incorporate framed bobbin beading around each drawer and the lid. This feature creates a distinctive and charming look that complements the design and enhances its signature aesthetic.

The interior is carefully painted as standard in Joa's White by Farrow and Ball, bringing brightness and durability to both the drawers and desk compartments. This choice enhances the aesthetic appeal, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere while ensuring long-lasting beauty and easy maintenance.

This colour can be adapted to fit your decor free of charge; just let us know your ideal paint name!

Our in-house developed wood tones are exclusive to our brand and are designed to enhance the grain of this beautiful aged timber, creating the most elegant, natural-looking shades. Whether you prefer an antique look, a modern twist, or a mixture of both, chances are we have created a tone that is perfect for your home.

To complete this beautiful design, we offer a selection of hardware that can transform the style of the piece and make a remarkable impact. Choose the elegant solid antiqued brass knobs for a refined, understated look, or opt for the charming cracked ceramic with brass highlights for a lighter, more playful feel.

Every single one of our pieces is created by our team of craftsmen in our own workshop in West Sussex. Their passion and technical ability for the creation and restoration of furniture are truly outstanding, and we are proud of the quality and results we can achieve by having them carefully create each piece.
