A stunning example of an original early 20th Century antique desk by Maple & Co. (makers label inside of the drawer for authenticity). Maple and Co was one the largest and most successful British furniture retailers and cabinet makers in the Late 19th Century, Victorian and Edwardian periods. They were well known for fine quality, craftsmanship and were specialists in copying old designs but bringing them up to date to the more modern trends. They produced many quality pieces of antique furniture in designs such as Hepplwhite and Chippendale but also were well known for their quality Arts & Crafts Furniture.
This beautiful piece is presented in perfectly aged oak stunning turned legs and drawer handles. All from oak. We think it makes a beautiful desk with the superb aged colour and patina of the oak. It could equally be a dressing table or console table, should you choose. A perfectly flexible piece that could stay with you for years as it ages, moves room, moves home etc. There are a couple of repaired grain splits that have been re-glued and filled at some point. You would only notice if looking very closely for them but we like to point out the true condition of a piece. Please examine the photos carefully for an accurate representation and please ask if you have any questions. They may not even be noticeable to you if you do not know what you are looking for.

Read more1960’s Desk in Teak by Abbess with Leather Top
£0FREE Delivery on this desk. Some more remote and rural areas will incur a charge.
A very different and very stylish mid Century desk by the ever popular Abbess makers. This one dates from the 1960’s and is very different in design to most of the Abbess desks we have seen and sold. This desk is in superb colour and made from heavy teak. It also has a very attractive leather top with beautiful old gilded banding to the edges. The leather is original and bears it fantastic patina from all of the years of use. We fully cleaned the desk, lightly sanded back the wood and gave it all a fresh coat of varnish. We also cleaned the leather top, moisturised it with leather cream then polished to finish. The work surface is very generous but the top does easily screw off to make delivery and siting easier.
The colour and condition are exactly right for a very stylish work/ study desk.
We have sold a number of these Abbess desks and they never hang around for long.
