£0FREE Delivery on this desk within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. Further afield areas will incur a surcharge to send via couriers.
A very stylish and superbly coloured mid Century desk in oak. We gently renovated the desk to restore it to its best aged condition. It has come up fantastically with a beautifully rich aged oak finish. The desk is nice and compact for home, where space, or access, is a little tight. Although compact the desk offers a generous and very usable work surface space, together with three good sized clean drawers and a pull out shelf for drinks, mouse mat etc. A super desk having all the style of a great mid Century desk (circa 1940-1950’s).

£0FREE Delivery on this desk within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. Further afield areas will incur a surcharge to send via couriers.
A very cute and stylish desk table by Abbess. Made from a beautifully rich Walnut and walnut veneer it could be used as a desk, if space is tight, or a cute dressing table? The legs even reomve with four simple wing nuts if your access pace is tight. It could equally be a great desk for a child or teen. Made around the late 1960’s to early 1970’s it retains the Abbess label inside the drawer and is stamped to the bottom of the drawer. Superb Retro styling and a great colour. There are cosmetic marks to the top, as to be expected but none are deep or anoything other than useage marks over the years. Very small indeed but please see photographs for an accurate representation.

An original retro style desk in a gorgeously coloured teak.

Read moreEarly 20th Century Oak Desk from Cavendish Laboratory
£0FREE Ground Floor Delivery on this desk within approximately 150 miles of Cambridgeshire. Some more remote and rural areas will incur a charge.
This desk has an incredible provenance. It came out of the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University, where the first atom was split in April 1932. John Cockroft and Ernest Walton split the first atom at the Cavendish Laboratory. We have video evidence of the stairs to the laboratory and the office to the right, where this desk was. Clearly we can not say if either of these two pioneering scientists ever used the desk but the age and location fit perfectly.
The desk is beautiful in its own right. Dating from the late teens to early 1930’s it is presented in its original oak. We gave as little restoration to the piece as we could. We simply cleaned the desk, sanded and cleaned the internal drawer liners and also restored the top only. We wanted to keep as much of the desk in its original used condition as possible; whilst also offering a piece ready for a very lucky new owner to cherish. An rare opportunity to own a very special desk.
This size is superb for home/ home office/ study. Not too large but a really useful size work space.
The desk does not disassemble so please measure all door widths and access points (e.g. stairs, turning points) before purchasing.
