£0FREE Ground Floor Delivery on this desk within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. Further afield locations will incur a surcharge to send via couriers.
A beautiful genuine antique desk in solid hardwood frame with pine drawers, dating from the early to mid 193o’s. It came to us in a very poor state with its original dark brown stain and varnish peeling and in bad condition. We stripped the desk back and refinished it in Farrow & Ball Off Black, with a clear wax for resilience and protection. This complements the original top and original refinished pine drawers. The top is in original but cleaned condition. The top does have cosmetic signs of its use.
We love the finished piece. A perfect blend of original antique and fresh bold contemporary design. A unique and stylish desk that offers real value for money and a statement desk. It could also make a great dining table.
Please note that the desk is large does not disassemble. You should double check that the desk will pass through all doorways and turns before purchasing. Any questions then please just ask us.

A very stylish and solid mid century double pedestal desk handmade in oak.

Read moreFully refurbished 1930’s Double Pedestal Oak Teachers Desk
£0FREE Delivery on this desk. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
A very attractive and stylish double pedestal desk dating from the 1930’s. These desks are often referred to as teachers desks. This one came to us covered in a horrendous white emulsion ‘shabby chic’ paint job but very very poorly done. We always prefer original antique or vintage finishes with gentle restoration, wherever we are able to bring a piece back to the bets it can be. With the paint on this desk there was no option but to fully strip it and restore it back to its original beautiful oak finish.
The quality of the radial cut oak meant we did not need to stain or change the colour in any way. We only added a protective finish in satin sheen varnish to seal the oak against spills and stains etc. The handles are original to the desk and we removed them to give them a thorough clean and polish.
It now offers all of the original quality, design and antique style with an almost ‘as new’ finish. Unusually this desk also splits quite easily for ease of moving between rooms. The top is removed, one retaining bar removed and the two pedestals separate.
This will only get better with age and appreciate in value. A superb antique desk that looks beautiful.
