£0FREE Ground Floor Delivery on this desk within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. Some more remote and rural areas will incur a charge.
An excellent example of the ever popular Abbess desk in Oak. These are often referred to as Teacher’s desks. This one dates from around 1950 and is a superb rich honey oak colour and size. Two drawers to the pedestals offering lost of really useful storage, with the bottom drawer being a double height filing type drawer. An additional kneehole desk gives plenty of storage across the three free running desks. This desk also has its original screw out brass feet to level the desk for uneven floors or give an extra 2cm of height, if required. The Abbess label is still present to the fornt of the desk and stamped inside of the central drawer for provenance.
We fully cleaned and restored this one to its former glory. Please check all photographs for the condition. A beautiful rich aged oak colour and patina that will just age perfectly. The size is perfect if you have smaller space or want to create a work space, rather than a dedicated study or home office room.

Read more1960’s Industrial Steel Desk in Green
£0FREE Shipping on this desk within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. More remote and far afield locations will incur a surcharge to send via a two man courier team.
A superb looking 1960’s green steel desk in exceptional original condition. So many of these desks are in poor condition with dents, scratches, rust etc. No surprise given their industrial use over the last 60 years or more? This one is in the best and most sought after colour green with its original green top. The desk is in outstanding condition with very few marks. The top does show signs of its industrial heritage but it is perfectly in tact and completely solidly stuck down. The marks are purely cosmetic, reflecting the authenticity of the desk. All three drawers are clean and run well.
These mid Century industrial desks are very highly sought after. With the condition and size of this desk it is perfect for the home. All of the fantastic industrial design and style in a perfectly compact package.
We love the overall look, perfectly aged green colour, patina and condition. Mid Century industrial styling at the top of its game!

Read moreSuperb Mid Century Industrial Steel Desk by Sheer Pride
£0FREE Shipping on this desk within approximately 150 miles of Cambridgeshire. More remote and far afield locations will incur a surcharge to send via a two man courier team.
A pretty exceptional example of mid century industrial design by Sheep Pride (England). It dates from the late 1950’s to mid 1960’s and is a rare find in this condition. We have sourced many industrial desks but this is certainly one of the best we have found! It is in completely original green paintwork and is exceptional condition for the age of the piece and its industrial/ utilitarian heritage. The desk has six drawers in total, all with original handles, perfectly aged in brass. Most desks of this age and style have dents and rusting. The top of this desk is also very when you consider their heavy use over the years and age. The top does have a few cosmetic issues. There is a small ding to the steel edging (circa 2cm), a quirky repair in leather to the front right edge (10cm wide x 1cm deep) and a rear corner repair, again in leather (14cm diagonal, 4 cm at deepest point – easily hidden by a desk lamp, vase etc.) Please see extensive photographs for the exact condition and just ask if you need any more detail. All drawers are very clean and run smoothly. The bottom right hand drawer is a double height filing drawer. A solid desk of great quality and a real stand out piece of industrial design.
These mid Century industrial desks are very highly sought after. With the condition and size of this desk it is perfect for the home with plenty of work surface for regular unrestricted use.

Read moreVintage Teak Desk with Removable Legs
£0FREE Delivery on this desk within approximately 150 miles of Cambridgeshire. Some more remote and rural areas will incur a charge.
An original retro style desk in a gorgeously coloured teak. We estimate that it dates form the late 1970’s to mid 1980’s and it came to us from Cambridge University as they were upgrading/ modernising the lecturer’s offices. We love the colour of the teak, the 70’s styling and the fact that the legs can be removed if you have a tight access space, such as narrow doors or a narrow staircase to the attic room etc. With a generous work surface and two drawers this would make a perfect work from home or study desk. Plenty of space for very regular use once fully assembled. It is a well weighted piece and well constructed from teak veneer, solid wooden drawer sides and bottoms, with steel legs.
Such a great Retro 70’s look!
Dimensions:
140cm Wide, 75cm Deep, 71cm High (can be raised via screw out levelling feet)
Please let us know if you would like this delivered with the legs still attached or removed.
