Read moreEarly 1930’s George V Solid English Oak Desk
£0FREE Delivery on this desk within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
An amazing desk in solid English oak, dating from the early 1930’s. These desks typically came from a Government office/ Public Service such as Civil Servant Offices, Schools, Railways etc. This desk came to us in a dreadful state of old varnish and paint. We fully (and painstakingly) stripped the desk back to bare wood before refurbishing it and sympathetically restoring the colour and aged finish. It is now presented in a warm oak, retaining signs of wear and use to maintain the character and authenticity of the desk. The beautiful aged brass cup handles also carry the GR stamps. There are cosmetic marks and signs of use to the original green top. Please see photographs.
Two drawers have been sanded back and cleaned internally, one required a new bottom liner. They all retain their original beautifully aged brass cup handles. We have had a number of these George V and George VI desks and they always sell so so quickly.
This will only get better with age and appreciate in value. A superb quality antique desk.

An excellent example of the ever popular Abbess desk in Oak. These are often referred to as Teacher’s desks. This one dates from around 1950 and is a superb rich honey oak colour and size. Two drawers to the pedestals offering lost of really useful storage, with the bottom drawer being a double height filing type drawer. An additional kneehole desk gives plenty of storage across the three free running desks.

Read moreMid Century Two Drawer Desk in Oak
£0FREE Delivery on this desk within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
A gorgeously simple mid Century desk. We love the very clean lines, the colour and condition of this desk. It is a classic in that it will never age and fit with so many interior themes and colour pallets. The desk is nicely sized for home – not too big but more than capable of being a regular use desk with its generous work surface and tow drawers for storage. A gorgeous warm tone just finishes the piece perfectly. And with such a generous space between the legs it can accommodate a modern wider desk chair, or a more classic one.
Please note that the desk 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.

Read moreLarge 1930’s George V Oak Desk
£0FREE Delivery on this desk within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
A beautiful antique desk in solid English oak, dating from the 193o’s. It was supplied by the Crown for Military or Civil Service use. These desks typically came from a Government office/ Public Service such as Civil Servant Offices, Schools, Railways etc. We restored the oak framework as the original brown finish was dark and very inconsistent. It looked very tired indeed! We re-finished it in a very flexible warm mid oak which always seems to be our most popular finish for desks. All three drawers are free running, have been sanded and cleaned internally. The drawers retain their perfectly aged original brass handles, stamped with the Crown and GR (George Regina). The top is the original gorgeous green finish, with very few cosmetic marks form its past. Nothing that detracts from the desk in any way but we like to point out any issues and also show in the photographs. Now very fresh and ready for regular use.
This will only get better with age and appreciate in value. A superb quality antique desk.
Please not that the desk does not disassemble. The top may be removed but would only change the depth by a few centimetres. You should double check that the desk will pass through all doorways and turns before purchasing. Any questions then please just ask us.

Read moreEarly 20th Century Two Drawer Desk in Oak
£0FREE Delivery on this desk. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
A beautiful antique desk in solid English oak, dating from the late 192o’s to early 1930’s. It is completely original throughout, with the original leather top and superbly aged brass cup handles. We adore the shape of the legs. The desk is perfectly sized for home – nice and wide but not too deep to be able to pass through most doorways. A very nicely sized work surface but not a mission to be able to get in to the room you need. Both drawers run freely and are clean inside. The leather top does have two old tears of circa 3cm each (please see photographs) but they are to the side and could easily be hidden under a lamp or plant if you prefer.

Read moreEarly 20th Century Oak Desk from Cavendish Laboratory
£0FREE Ground Floor Delivery on this desk within approximately 150 miles of Cambridgeshire. Some more remote and rural areas will incur a charge.
This desk has an incredible provenance. It came out of the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University, where the first atom was split in April 1932. John Cockroft and Ernest Walton split the first atom at the Cavendish Laboratory. We have video evidence of the stairs to the laboratory and the office to the right, where this desk was. Clearly we can not say if either of these two pioneering scientists ever used the desk but the age and location fit perfectly.
The desk is beautiful in its own right. Dating from the late teens to early 1930’s it is presented in its original oak. We gave as little restoration to the piece as we could. We simply cleaned the desk, sanded and cleaned the internal drawer liners and also restored the top only. We wanted to keep as much of the desk in its original used condition as possible; whilst also offering a piece ready for a very lucky new owner to cherish. An rare opportunity to own a very special desk.
This size is superb for home/ home office/ study. Not too large but a really useful size work space.
The desk does not disassemble so please measure all door widths and access points (e.g. stairs, turning points) before purchasing.
