Beach Boys Retro Bureau
Price includes free delivery to England. Please email me prior to purchase to enquire about delivery to Scotland and Wales or to combine delivery for a discount.
Painted in thick layers of Annie Sloan chalk paint I always sand items prior to painting to ensure the paint adheres well. The paint has been distressed back to wood in some areas to age it and to reveal the mauve of the undercoat. The paint has been applied thickly and with texture and dribbles. I aim to recreate the feel of a genuinely aged bohemian piece. Decorated using decoupage vintage images, the decoupage has been printed in fade resistant ink designed to last up to 100 years before any fading occurs. I then paint thickly across the top to blend the decoupage. The text reads 'don't work baby, everything will turn out alright'; lyrics by the Beach Boys.
Finally varnished with floor varnish for a durable finish. This can be dusted with a lightly dampened cloth.
This is a vintage piece and structurally sound and sturdy made from solid and veneer teak. It may have the odd life mark on but is in very good condition. The drawers slide easily, the fold down mechanism works well. The insides are good and clean, the writing cushion is a bit tired. The insides of the drawers are painted. No odour, no woodworm. The desk area is a really good size for a laptop etc. Key still locks the bureau.
Dimensions:
91cm L
41cm D
107cm high
Desk 69cm from the floor to desktop when folded down.
I will contact you after purchase regarding delivery.
