Read moreUnusual 1970’s Teachers Desk by ESA / Esavian
£0FREE 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.

Read moreOriginal 1950’s Teachers Desk by Abbess
£0FREE Delivery on this desk within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. Further afield areas will incur a surcharge to send via couriers.
An excellent example of the ever popular Abbess pedestal desk. These are often referred to as Teacher’s desks but this came from a private home in central Cambridge. This desk dates from around the mid to late 1950’s and is in excellent original condition. It retains all of its internal drawer liners with the Abbess stamp, together with its original stationery tray. It is in a gorgeous rich colour and a compact but very usable size. The original Abbess brass levelling feet are are still attached to the bottom of the legs. The feet can be wound out to level the desk on uneven floors or raise the whole desk height by around 30mm (maximum). A very good example indeed.
A great size offering a compact but fully functioning desk. The colour and condition are exactly right for a very stylish work/ study desk – or a teenager’s study desk?
We have sold a number of these Abbess desks and they never hang around for long.

Read moreCompact 1960’s Desk by Abbess with removable legs
£0FREE Delivery on this desk within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. Further afield areas will incur a surcharge to send via couriers.
A very cute and stylish desk table by Abbess. Made from a beautifully rich Walnut and walnut veneer it could be used as a desk, if space is tight, or a cute dressing table? The legs even reomve with four simple wing nuts if your access pace is tight. It could equally be a great desk for a child or teen. Made around the late 1960’s to early 1970’s it retains the Abbess label inside the drawer and is stamped to the bottom of the drawer. Superb Retro styling and a great colour. There are cosmetic marks to the top, as to be expected but none are deep or anoything other than useage marks over the years. Very small indeed but please see photographs for an accurate representation.
