£0FREE Delivery on this desk within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
A beautiful antique desk in solid English oak, dating from the 193o’s. 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. We restored the oak framework as the original brown finish was dark and very inconsistent. It looked very tired indeed! We re-finished it in a very flexible warm mid oak which always seems to be our most popular finish for desks. All three drawers are free running, have been sanded and cleaned internally. The drawers retain their perfectly aged original brass handles, stamped with the Crown and GR (George Regina). The top is the original gorgeous green finish, with very few 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.
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.

£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 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.
The desk does not disassemble so please measure all door widths and access points (e.g. stairs, turning points) before purchasing.

£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.
