Immerse yourself in the timeless elegance of this Queen Anne Vintage Burr Walnut Long-Legged Bureau Writing Desk in Black. The distinctive curved and carved legs, characteristic of the Queen Anne period, have been hand-painted in "Total Eclipse" black by Bunty’s and finished with clear wax, imparting a subtle lustre while ensuring protection.

The fall front and two main drawers have been fully stripped to unveil the stunning burr walnut, enhanced by a generous application of Osmo oil in satin to accentuate the grain. Internally, thoughtful details include painted leather to complement the external colour, matched edges for cubbyholes and small drawers, and restoration using brown wax, dark oil, and salve.

Soft gold wax highlights the striking original handles, contributing to the overall glamorous finish. The pull-out arms feature new felt, and a working key with a charming beaded black tassel is provided. The sturdy drawers with solid wood bases and dovetail joints, along with the entire piece, have been treated with a hemp-based salve carrying a delicate citrus scent for wood restoration.

This versatile piece is perfect for a home office or can seamlessly serve as a dressing table with its hinged fall front, offering both functionality and exquisite craftsmanship.
