An excellent example of the ever popular Abbess pedestal desk. These are often referred to as Teacher’s desks but this came from a private home in central Cambridge. This desk dates from around the mid to late 1950’s and is in excellent original condition. It retains all of its internal drawer liners with the Abbess stamp, together with its original stationery tray. It is in a gorgeous rich colour and a compact but very usable size. The original Abbess brass levelling feet are are still attached to the bottom of the legs. The feet can be wound out to level the desk on uneven floors or raise the whole desk height by around 30mm (maximum). A very good example indeed.

£0FREE Ground Floor Delivery on this desk within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. Further afield locations will incur a surcharge to send via couriers.
A beautiful mid century desk in heavyweight teak dating from 1966. It was supplied for the Crown by Staverton for Military or Civil Service use and is stamped to the underside 01 1966 Staverton. These desks typically came from a Government office/ Public Service such as Civil Servant Offices, Schools, Railways etc. This desk has a fantastically sized work surface but the top can be unscrewed from the pedestals if you have a tight access area. The bottom drawer is double height and has a suspension filing frame for hanging folders. Very useful! All drawers are clean inside, lockable and the locks all work with the original keys supplied (a pretty rare occurrence!) The desk is fully cleaned and ready for regular use and another 60 years.
This will only get better with age and appreciate in value. A superb mid Century desk with a real British social history provenance.
