Glenys’ Office Desk Restoration
“One man’s trash is another man’s treasure”
This is the story of a 1960’s office desk that had been discarded. It was left on the side of the road for kerbside collection. The desk had broken drawers, chipped and missing veneer all over, deep water stains and marks all over the top. It was pretty much falling apart.
Glenys loved old furniture and stopped to save it. She collected the desk and all its pieces and contacted us to see what could be done with it. After some consultation, we agreed on a price and level of restoration. The big challenge was saving the top as it was an extremely rare butterfly blackwood veneer which we knew would be irreplaceable so all the restoration tricks were pulled out by our very qualified team to return this classic back to its former glory. It will live again, this time for ever holding pride of place in Glenys’s retro office.
Glenys and Alan were delighted with their desk. They ended up re-arranging their furniture to accommodate the desk in pride of place. Now, Glenys has a peaceful work space, with an amazing view, and a gorgeous desk.
