Small Antique Painted Black Writing Bureau desk with fall front, Gothic

This is a handsome little antique reproduction writing bureau which dates to the late 20th century. Made of mahogany, mixed woods and veneers it is solid and well made, ideal for an office or study. The bureau makes a nice alternative to a traditional desk and is a useful work space for any home, perfect for using a laptop or writing letters. The bureau is quite compact and is simply styled, the top fitted with a fall front which opens to reveal a fitted interior with pigeon holes and a small drawer for stationery and correspondence. The fall front is fitted with a yellow leather scriver and is lockable, the key is present. Below the top section are four spacious drawers, all finished with drop handles set on decorative pierced back plates. The bureau is set simple bracket feet. I have hand painted this piece in my own mix of black chalk based paint before distressing the paintwork for a gently aged look. The paintwork has been waxed for protection and has a low sheen smooth finish.
