£0FREE Ground Floor Delivery on this desk within approximately 10 days. Some more remote and rural areas will incur a charge.
A superb large double pedestal desk dating to the late 1920’s to early 1930’s. It is constructed from beautifully aged oak throughout. It came to us directly from a Professor in Suffolk. She owned the desk from the late 1960’s and used it to study for her Masters and PhD through the 1970’s then write lectures etc until she retired very recently. We had to clean and gently restore some of the oak and also re paint the central work surface due to heavy wear and damage. She clearly did a lot of work there!
We love the history of the desk, the ladder back at the rear of the kneehole, and the overall colour and patina. A beautiful antique desk with a real story.
The desk does not disassemble so please measure all door widths and access points (e.g. stairs, turning points) before purchasing.

A beautiful double pedestal desk in oak, dating form around 1910-1930. The desk displays some superb oak grain with a fantastically aged colour and patina. The desk has a very generous workspace but is not too big for most people to be able to accommodate. At 76cm deep it should pass through most standard width doors (but please double check). The bottom drawer to the right pedestal is a double height filing type drawer. All other drawers are standard single height. With eight drawers in total the desk offers huge storage too. We refinished and colour matched the top due to wear and stains.

Read moreBeautiful 1950’s Handmade Desk in Oak
£0FREE Ground Floor Delivery on this desk within approximately 10 days. Some more remote and rural areas will incur a charge.
A beautiful double pedestal desk in oak, hand made by a woodwork teacher in the 1950’s for his own home in Wiltshire. The desk displays some superb oak grain with a fantastically aged colour and patina. The desk has a very generous workspace but is not too bog for most people to be able to accommodate. The depth of the desk does pass through a standard width door. There is one old repair to the top right hand corner of the central drawer (please see photograph). It has been repaired well and is solid. The line is cosmetic but we must point it out for transparency.
With three free ruining drawers and a very generous pedestal cupboard the desk offers lots of very versatile storage. The top drawer locks, as does the pedestal cupboard. Both keys are present.
A beautiful desk that will age perfectly.

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 colour and size.

£0FREE Ground Floor Delivery on this desk usually within 10 days. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
A beautiful genuine antique desk in solid mahogany, dating from the late 192o’s. It came to us in a poor state with its original stain and varnish peeling and in bad condition. We stripped the desk back and refinished it in a beautifully rich French Navy colour. This complements the original leather top and original heavy brass handles beautifully. The leather top is in excellent condition for its age with superb gold gilded border work, which also complements the Navy colour so well. It is a heavy , very well made desk that offers a very generous work surface.
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.
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 more1920’s Two Drawer Teachers 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. We sourced four of these desk directly from a school in Lancashire where they have been used since new. The school opened in 1921 and these desks were supplied a few years later. They are complete original with the LLC (Lancashire Council) stamp on each desk. The brass cup handles are also original. We adore the shape of the legs and that the desks are not too big for you to be able to accommodate at home. A very nicely sized work surface but not a mission to be able to get in to the room you need.
This will only get better with age and appreciate in value. A superb quality antique desk.
