Read moreLarge 1970’s Double Pedestal Desk by Abbess
£0FREE Delivery on this desk within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. Some more remote and rural areas will incur a charge.
A very generous and Retro style 1970’s desk in teak veneer. It came to us from a small printing business office in Kent, where it had been since new. We love the proportions, the 70’s styling and the perfect Retro handles. With a large work surface and lots of storage this would make a perfect work from home, study or even small business desk. Plenty of space for very regular use. It is a heavyweight piece and well constructed from teak veneer with steel legs.
There are two pull out shelves to the top of the pedestals. The bottom left hand drawer is also a double height filing drawer.
Such a great Retro 70’s look!
This is a large deep and heavy desk, so please ensure you check all measurements for access and siting, before purchasing. The legs can be removed if you have a narrower door or access point. Thank you.

Read moreCompact Teachers Desk in Shaded White by Abbess
£0FREE Delivery on this desk within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. Further afield areas will incur a surcharge to send via couriers.
A very cutely sized compact mid Century desk by the ever popular Abbess makers. These are often referred to as Teacher’s desks. This one dates from around 1950 and is in a superb colourway. The frame has been refinished in Farrow & Ball Shaded White whilst leaving the top and drawers in their refinished natural oak. Perfect for where space is tight but you still need a fully functioning and gorgeous vintage teachers desk. The desk is original throughout and has a superb aged oak colour and patina. Only a couple of faint marks to the top work surface (please see all photographs). With two really useful drawers and a lovely desk top this desk has all the style and charm you want in its compact size. Both drawers have been cleaned and sanded out.
The colour and condition are exactly right for a very stylish work/ study desk or as a child’s study desk?
We have sold a number of these Abbess desks and they never hang around for long.

Read moreVintage Teacher’s Desk in Beech & Iroko
£0FREE Delivery on this desk within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. Further afield areas will incur a surcharge to send via couriers.
An very stylish late 1960’s/ early 1970’s teachers desk very well made form beech and iroko. The desk is a superb size for regular home use. It has been hand made with quality hardwood and dovetail joints to all drawers. The frame is made of beech with a beautiful Iroko top. Very reminiscent of the old hardwood science lab tops. The top has been restored to remove writing and scratch marks, then given the best Osmo oil, satin clear finish. This means the top has been rejuvenated to show off its beautiful grain whilst also having a treatment against spills.
After a full clean and some gentle restoration work it now offers a superb stylish work or study space. A very generous work surface with lots of very clean storage drawers. A rare desk and one that will certainly appreciate in value if cared for.
