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 moreMid Century Industrial Steel Desk with Swedish Birch Top
£0FREE Delivery on this desk within 10 business days. More remote and further afield areas will incur a surcharge.
A very unique and super stylish industrial design desk. The desk came to us with a rotten top and covered in terrible creamy coloured gloss paint. We fully stripped all of the sides of the pedestal and the legs. We managed to save some original ivory paint to the front facias of the two drawers. We also replaced the top with a brand new piece of Swedish birch ply and coated it in satin varnish for protection and resistance to spills etc. We love the finished fusion look. Part stripped, a splash of colour and retention of old paint together with a fresh Swedish birch top offering a generous and very clean work surface. Both drawers are clean and run freely. A superb blend of many good things making this desk completely unique and not something you could buy in the high street shops anywhere.
These mid Century industrial desk are highly sought after. With the condition and size of this desk it is perfect for home or home office where space is a consideration. Not too big to have to worry about accommodating it but plenty big enough for a fully functioning desk.
We love the overall look and style. Mid Century industrial styling at the top of its game!

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.
