Read more1960’s Desk in Teak by Abbess with Leather Top
£0FREE Delivery on this desk. Some more remote and rural areas will incur a charge.
A very different and very stylish mid Century desk by the ever popular Abbess makers. This one dates from the 1960’s and is very different in design to most of the Abbess desks we have seen and sold. This desk is in superb colour and made from heavy teak. It also has a very attractive leather top with beautiful old gilded banding to the edges. The leather is original and bears it fantastic patina from all of the years of use. We fully cleaned the desk, lightly sanded back the wood and gave it all a fresh coat of varnish. We also cleaned the leather top, moisturised it with leather cream then polished to finish. The work surface is very generous but the top does easily screw off to make delivery and siting easier.
The colour and condition are exactly right for a very stylish work/ study desk.

Read more1940’s Double Pedestal Teachers Desk by Abbess
£0FREE Delivery on this desk. Some more remote and rural areas will incur a charge.
An excellent example of the ever popular Abbess double pedestal desk in Oak. These are often referred to as Teacher’s desks but tis came from a private home office of a Manager at Toyota Cars in Warwickshire. This one dates from around 1940 and is a superb original condition. It retains all of its internal drawer locking mechanism. A spring loaded mechanism that locks all 6 drawers when the centre drawer is closed and locked with the key. It is very rare that these original mechanisms are still in tact and working. To unlock all drawers you simply unlock the centre drawer and let it pop out slightly to release all the pedestal drawers. It is in a gorgeous rich colour and a really good size. The original Abbess stationery tray is still present as are all of the brass feet. 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.
A great size offering a generous fully functioning desk. The colour and condition are exactly right for a very stylish work/ study desk.

Read moreMid Century Schoolmasters Desk
£0FREE Delivery on this desk. Some more remote and rural areas will incur a charge.
A really good old schoolmaster / mistress desk. This came out of a school in Holmfirth in West Yorkshire. It dates from around the 1960’s. The desk offers lots of storage with 7 drawers and the centre kneehole drawer retains its original working lock and one key. The desk has been well used and well loved and carries the cosmetic wear and tear you would expect for a desk of this age form a school. It is however, structurally very sound with all joints firm. The top is also original and in super condition for its age with only one sign of heavy wear to comment on (please see photograph). We love the rich colour of this, together with the well used and tarnished handles and its original deep green top.
A super stylish old school desk and a really good desk for home or work.
