Unusual 1970’s Teachers Desk by ESA / Esavian
£0
FREE Delivery on this desk within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. Further afield areas will incur a surcharge to send via couriers.
A very unusual 1970’s teachers desk produced by the Educations Supplies Authority (ESA), also known as Esavian. ESA were renowned in the 1950’s and 60’s for their stylish but practical school and civil service furniture – predominantly designed by James Leonard. We have found a number of ESA drawers, desk, cupboards etc but have never come across this style of desk before. It is constructed from heavy and solid teak with finger jointed corners to the desk top and dovetail joints to all drawers. It is a very well constructed utilitarian desk designed and made to last. Stamped to the underside with ESA 1977.
After a full clean and some gentle restoration work it now offers a superb stylish work or study space. A very generous work surface with lots of very clean storage drawers. A rare desk and one that will certainly appreciate in value if cared for.
Dimensions:
152.5cm Wide, 76.5cm Deep, 74cm High
Kneehole Dimensions: 63cm Wide, 67cm High
Please note that this desk does not disassemble for delivery. You should check all dimensions to ensure it will pass through doorways and access points to the room of your choice.

Read moreOriginal c1910 Ritter Dental Cabinet
£0An original Ritter (of Germany) Dental cabinet dating from around 1910-20. This was in a sorry state when it came to us but has now been fully refurbished. Standing on the original marble plinth with all original glass, shelves and handles. Unfortunately some of the glassware to the drawer handles did not survive the 100+ years. We decide to leave the bases on the drawers as they are still the original bases.
The piece has been finished in Farrow & Ball’s Green Smoke; which we think just complements the overall aesthetics perfectly.
We are unashamedly in love with this cabinet and it has lit up many eyes from the people that have seen the piece in the flesh. Stunning!
Very rare and we have not seen another one like it anywhere…..
