Read moreGeorge V English Oak Teachers Desk with Two End Drawers
£0FREE Delivery on this desk. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
An beautiful antique desk in solid English oak, dating from 1933. It is stamped to the under side with George V, LRMW, 1933. These desks typically came from a Government office/ Public Service such as Civil Servant Offices, Schools, Railways etc. This one is unusual in design as it has a drawer at each end/ side of the desk, rather than at the front. This offers two very large drawers for storage. Both drawers are free running with original handles and locks. The top has been re finished in a dark green leatherette as the previous top was beyond repair. Now very fresh and ready for regular use.
Now presented in a beautiful rich oak that only time can offer.
This will only get better with age and appreciate in value. A superb quality antique desk.

Read moreGeorge VI English Oak Teachers Desk from London City Council
£0FREE Delivery on this desk. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
An amazing desk in solid English oak, dating from the circa late 1940’s. These desks typically came from a Government office/ Public Service such as Civil Servant Offices, Schools, Railways etc. This desk is stamped with George VI and the crown on the underside, together with LCC (London County Council).

It covered the area today known as Inner London and was replaced by the Greater London Council
Now presented in a beautiful rich oak that only time can offer. The desk also retains its original green leather top with some beautiful imprint detailing.

An beautiful desk in solid English radial cut oak, dating from the late 1920’s to early 1930’s. It carries very distinctive Arts & Crafts movement lines and legs.

A beautiful solid little desk with bags of antique style and charm.
Both drawers run freely and have been fully cleaned out. One handle does have a grain split on it (please see close up photograph)

Read more1930’s Double Pedestal Teachers Desk
£0FREE Delivery on this desk. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
A very attractive and stylish double pedestal desk dating from the 1930’s. These desks are often referred to as teachers desks but this one came out of a solicitors office in Buxton, Derbyshire – where it had been since new! With some gentle cleaning and tlc it came up beautifully again. A testament to how well it has been looked after, we believe. It is a great size for home with lots of very useful storage. All drawers are clean and run smoothly, as do the two pull out shelves at the top of each pedestal. The bottom right hand drawer is a double height filing type drawer.
This will only get better with age and appreciate in value. A superb antique desk that looks beautiful.

Read more1960’s Single Pedestal Teachers Desk in Oak
£0FREE Delivery on this desk. Some more remote and rural areas will incur a charge.
A very cute and stylish single pedestal teachers desk dating from the 1960’s. It is made from oak with a great colour. Four free running desk and a pull out shelf make this a completely functioning and practical desk for a smaller space. A residual water mark on the top is too deeply ingrained in the oak to remove without spoiling the surface finish. It is purely cosmetic but does make this super cute desk a real style bargain.
These teachers desks nver hang around for long due to their great style, usability and value.

Read more1930’s Double Pedestal Teachers Desk from Gresham’s School
£0FREE Delivery on this desk. Some more remote and rural areas will incur a charge.
A fantastic solid and heavy oak desk that looks very contemporary and stylish. This desk dates from the 1930’s. It is a beautiful colour and size with plenty of storage within the six drawers. The desk has three drawers to the left pedestal, a central knee hole drawer and a double height filing style drawer to the right pedestal, with a further standard sized drawer above. Both pedestals also have pull out top shelves for drinks, resting books, mouse mat etc.
These desk are most commonly referred to as teachers desks now and this one certainly has been. It came to us from the very well respected Gresham’s private school in Holt, North Norfolk. It even had the Gresham’s Loan papers still in the drawers, all of the department’s contact telephone numbers (naughty!) and a POLO mint. In this size and condition with such perfect provenance, we don’t expect this desk to hang around for long.
