Wonderful quarter sawn (tiger) oak double side by side desk. Beautiful leaded glass on the bookcase portion. Shelves inside the bookcase / china portion are adjustable. This is an original piece not a later reproduction. It dates from the 1910s to the 1920s. Nice size in that it is fairly narrow.
This was designed as the original home office … desk, storage, and bookcase.
This is an original vintage item which has been completely professionally restored. No short-cuts were used. The refinishing was done by hand stripping and hand sanding. The stain was an oil base stain (this puts moisture back into the wood but requires more additional drying time than solvent based stains.) Next a series of sealers and lacquers were applied with hand sanding between the layers. The final coat is a durable bar-top lacquer. Re-gluing involved taking each chair completely apart and using a resin glue in the reassembly process.
In general you can see the years of honest wear and use that occurred before restoration. However, we chose to leave these details that are part of the character that makes antiques special.
Makes a beautiful presentation with wonderful display and storage! less
