Description

Each bureau is created by sourcing beautiful antique pieces with outstanding solid oak construction that have been well-preserved over time, and carefully restoring them.

We completely disassemble each piece, reinforce all the joints, and repair any mechanical issues to ensure the bureau works as well as it did when it was first built, guaranteeing full functionality for another 100 years. Next, we meticulously hand-strip the entire piece to remove the old dark finish, preparing it for our new finishes.

The interior of the desk and drawers is hand-painted in a color of choice, with Joa’s White by Farrow & Ball as the standard option. You can select a colour to match your room free of charge by writing on the box above. All brass components are carefully cleaned, not polished, to retain their unique aged patina. We add a small scalloped detail to the interior, creating an endearing feature that makes the piece feel special, unique, and inviting.

The exterior can be finished in our darker signature blends and features a hand-painted highlighted scalloped edge around the base, adorning the stunning antique hand-turned barley twist legs. We frame the lid and the drawer faces with a beautiful bobbin beading that is matched to the finish of your choice.

The finish shown in the images is Blend #31, but if you would like to explore other options, please visit our finishes page.

About this piece

Discover The Features

Explore the elements that make this piece so special and learn about how it came to be.

Genuine Antique

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.

Fully Restored. Professionally & Respectfully.

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.

Original Hand Turned Legs

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.

Scalloped Edge

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.

Bobbin Trim

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.

Painted Interior

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!

Choice Of Signature Tones

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.

Choice Of Hardware

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.

Restored In The UK

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.
