£0FREE Delivery on this piece within 10 business days to most areas. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
A very stylish and solid mid century oak desk handmade in oak. It dates from around the late 1930’s to 1940’s and is in completely original condition but fully cleaned and gently restored by us. It presents itself in a beautiful deep honey coloured oak with superb original patina and a really nicely sized work surface for home use. With five free running drawers there is also a lot of very useful storage space. The bottom right hand drawer is a double height deep filing type drawer for extra storage.
English oak with quality dovetails joints to all five pedestal drawers. The drawer internals are also very clean. There are some old water stains to the top right hand corner. Easily hidden with a lamp, plant etc but we have detailed them here and shown in the photographs for honesty of condition.

Read more1960’s Teachers Desk in Oak
£0FREE Delivery on this desk. Some more remote and rural areas will incur a charge.
A very different and very stylish mid Century desk in oak. This one dates from the 1960’s and has some beautiful grain work to the oak finish. The desk is in a superb colour and made from solid oak frame work with good quality oak veneer to the top and drawer fronts. It also has its original brass drawer knobs that have aged perfectly in colour. We fully cleaned the desk, lightly sanded back the wood and gave it all a fresh coat of varnish. The size of the desk is perfect for most homes. Not too large to worry about it passing through doorways and stairs etc but large enough to offer a really usable work surface. The three drawers run very freely and are clean internally. There is also a pull out stationary tray to the top of the pedestal, above the drawers. There are two small areas of missing veneer on the inside of the kneehole area at the very bottom. They have been photographed so please check all photos. Just ask if you have any more questions over the condition but the photographs are an accurate representation.
The colour and condition are exactly right for a very stylish work/ study desk.

Read moreGeorge V English Oak Desk with Two End Drawers
£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 193o’s. It is stamped to the under side with George V (1910-1936) and the Crown symbol, denoting that 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. 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 is the original gorgeous green finish, though does carry some 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.
Presented in a beautiful rich oak. 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.

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.
