Read moreEarly 1970’s Teachers Desk in Iroko
£0FREE Delivery on this desk. Some more remote and rural areas will incur a charge.
A very different and very stylish early 1970’s desk in iroko wood and teak veneer. We estimate that this was handmade in the 1967’s and has some beautiful grain work to the wood finish. The desk is in a superb colour and made from a heavy solid iroko frame work with teak veneer to the top inset, sides and drawer fronts. It retains all of its original perfectly aged pull handles. The drawers are also solid wood and made from a good quality and weight of wood. We fully cleaned the desk, lightly sanded back the top and gave it a fresh coat of varnish. The size of the desk is perfect for most homes. Not too large to worry about it passing through doorways and stairs etc but large enough to offer a really usable work surface. The four drawers run very freely and are clean internally.
The colour and condition are exactly right for a very stylish work/ study desk.
We have sold a number of these mid teachers desks and they never hang around for long.

Read moreEarly 20th Century Double Pedestal Desk in Oak
£0FREE Ground Floor Delivery on this desk within approximately 10 days. Some more remote and rural areas will incur a charge.
A superb large double pedestal desk dating to the late 1920’s to early 1930’s. It is constructed from beautifully aged oak throughout. It came to us directly from a Professor in Suffolk. She owned the desk from the late 1960’s and used it to study for her Masters and PhD through the 1970’s then write lectures etc until she retired very recently. We had to clean and gently restore some of the oak and also re paint the central work surface due to heavy wear and damage. She clearly did a lot of work there!
We love the history of the desk, the ladder back at the rear of the kneehole, and the overall colour and patina. A beautiful antique desk with a real story.
The desk does not disassemble so please measure all door widths and access points (e.g. stairs, turning points) before purchasing.

Read moreBeautiful 1950’s Handmade Desk in Oak
£0FREE Ground Floor Delivery on this desk within approximately 10 days. Some more remote and rural areas will incur a charge.
A beautiful double pedestal desk in oak, hand made by a woodwork teacher in the 1950’s for his own home in Wiltshire. The desk displays some superb oak grain with a fantastically aged colour and patina. The desk has a very generous workspace but is not too bog for most people to be able to accommodate. The depth of the desk does pass through a standard width door. There is one old repair to the top right hand corner of the central drawer (please see photograph). It has been repaired well and is solid. The line is cosmetic but we must point it out for transparency.
With three free ruining drawers and a very generous pedestal cupboard the desk offers lots of very versatile storage. The top drawer locks, as does the pedestal cupboard. Both keys are present.
A beautiful desk that will age perfectly.
