Vintage Shop Counter / Desk
Sold
This is an unusual / interesting piece for us. It has got some serious age to it, circa 1850's and is predominately made from oak - very well made.
It would have been used in a shop as a cashiers desk - the top right hand drawer has a big lock on it and dividers for change. There is a metal fitting on the top which we believe would have held a coffee grinder.
It was a rather flat cream colour all over when we started restoring it. We have scraped back some of this paint, revealing many different layers of colours. To my surprise the oldest of these colours is this rather jazzy blue.
The top has been given a good sand and finished with a wipeable shellac lacquer. Dark blue panels have been added underneath to hide the drawers.
Masses of natural patina and a few bumps and scrapes - some restoration - structurally sturdy. Old re-treated woodworm.
