A superb large double pedestal desk dating to the late 1920’s to early 1930’s. It is constructed from beautifully aged oak solid throughout. We had to refurbish the top due to sun fading and wear from use. It is now cleaned, refurbished and ready to be treasured. The desk offers lots of storage space with six drawers in total. The bottom drawer of the right hand pedestal is a double height filing type drawer. It is presented in a beautiful aged rich oak with all handles totally original and free from splits, cracks or missing areas – as is so often the case with desks of this age. It is solid, heavyweight and offers a superb work surface for regular use. A piece to be used, admired and treasured.

Read moreEarly 20th Century Writing Desk by Heal & Son, London
£0FREE Delivery on this desk within 10 working days. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
A beautiful and elegant desk in mahogany, dating from the early 20th Century. It dates from around 1900-1920 and carries very distinctive Edwardian lines, especially in the slim tapered legs and superb original brass handles. It is very well constructed by the now infamous producer Heal & Son, London. We adore the colour and grain on the top of the desk – beautifully aged mahogany at its best. It is in completely original condition, even down to the galleried brass castors at its feet. The desk is veru flexible in its use as a desk, dressing table, hall/ console table, lamp table, bathroom table, etc etc.

Read moreCute Antique Arts & Crafts Solid Oak Desk
£0FREE Delivery on this desk within 10 working days. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
A beautiful desk in solid English oak, dating from the early 20th Century. It dates from around 1900-1920 and carries very distinctive Arts & Crafts movement lines, especially in the turned and tapered legs. It is very well constructed and a good weight for its size; reflecting the quality of oak and carpentry used in its construction. We suspect that the drawer handles are a later addition, though are good quality, heavy and do have some significant age. There is no central kneehole drawer it is a façade only. The top right hand drawer is an unusual box file construction, accessed from the rear of the drawer once removed from the pedestal. The other drawer is a regular, free running drawer (see photographs).
The size of the desk makes it very versatile as an occasional use adult desk, an older child/ teenager’s desk, a console/ hall table, dressing table etc etc.
We think it is a classic ‘keeper’ of a genuine antique desk that will move rooms and interior decor styles over the years.
