Description

PLEASE NOTE: This listing is an example of a design I have previously created and can recreate for you. This means, that if I don't have the same or a similar piece in stock, I will source the piece specifically for you and recreate this design to your specification. Please message me if you are interested. Prices may vary depending on the size and features requested. For example, new legs, handles, or full paint (inside and out) will be charged extra. Turnaround time will be 4-6 weeks.

This vintage oak bureau / writing desk has been lovingly restored and would make a great focal point in any room. In addition to looking good, it is a practical piece of furniture that offers ample storage by means of 3 large drawers and a large work area.

The external body has been clean, sanded, filled and painted in Farrow and Ball's Studio Green - a deep dark green which is complimented by the new gold scallop handles and honey oak of the drawers and drop leaf.

The outside of the drawers and drop down leaf have been sanded back and given three coats of Osmo oil to bring out the beautiful wood grain. The inside of the drawers have been nourished with hemp oil wood finish.

The internal desk has been handpainted stencil pattern added to the drop down leaf and small drawer.

The whole piece has then been given two coats of varnish for durability. Origianl key included.

This really is a fantastic looking and practical piece of furniture!

    We had a great experience with Debora. She had great communication and managed to arrange for a courier quickly so it could arrive before we started renovations. We love the cabinet and would definitely by from her again.

    The item arrived looking exactly like in the photos, perhaps even more beautiful. The paint job was done perfectly. The seller kept us up-to-date with the order and even shared a short clip of the refurbishing process. The delivery was done promptly and the item packaged well.

Cancellations and Returns

Last updated: 24th March 2025

We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.

However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.

To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.

Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.

Can I cancel an order?

There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.

If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.

Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.

Can I return an order?

We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.

The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).

You can return your order if...

It isn't what you expected

If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.

You change your mind

If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.

It's damaged in transit

In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.

If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.

What can't I return?

Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.

Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.

Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.

I'm eligible for a return. Now what?

To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.

How will I receive my refund?

Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.

All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
