Introducing an extraordinary executive desk fresh out of our restoration shop.

The … moreThis extraordinary executive desk has recently undergone a comprehensive and transformative restoration process and the results speak for themselves! The honey oak veneer has been hand-sanded and refinished with only minor signs of wear remaining such as minor veneer repairs, scratches (shown clearly in the detail photos provided). With that said there are no other stains or other signs of damage whatsoever and variegated woodgrains unique to the European oak species are absolutely stunning in natural light. All six drawers open and close with ease and feature a pull out writing space with a finished wood surface. The keys have been lost to time but new keys can be cut and or locks replaced at cost if desired. The genuine leather hide desk top is in new, never-used condition and shows only the wear of a once living animal (scars and ranch brands etc) and shown in the natural light video. The metal legs have been repainted with an automotive-grade polyurethane paint and show only old, repaired pitting underneath. This desk is highly functional, structurally sound and ready for a literal lifetime more of use thanks to it's recent restoration. Please view all photos and natural light video provided for details on this one-of-a-kind executive desk's current condition. We're limited on the amount of media we can post so additional photos and videos are available upon request. less
