Read moreCute Antique Arts & Crafts Solid Oak Desk
£0FREE Delivery on this desk within 10 working days. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
A beautiful desk in solid English oak, dating from the early 20th Century. It dates from around 1900-1920 and carries very distinctive Arts & Crafts movement lines, especially in the turned and tapered legs. It is very well constructed and a good weight for its size; reflecting the quality of oak and carpentry used in its construction. We suspect that the drawer handles are a later addition, though are good quality, heavy and do have some significant age. There is no central kneehole drawer it is a façade only. The top right hand drawer is an unusual box file construction, accessed from the rear of the drawer once removed from the pedestal. The other drawer is a regular, free running drawer (see photographs).
The size of the desk makes it very versatile as an occasional use adult desk, an older child/ teenager’s desk, a console/ hall table, dressing table etc etc.
We think it is a classic ‘keeper’ of a genuine antique desk that will move rooms and interior decor styles over the years.

Read more1920’s Two Drawer Teachers Desk in French Navy
£0FREE Ground Floor Delivery on this desk usually within 10 days. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
A beautiful genuine antique desk in solid mahogany, dating from the late 192o’s. It came to us in a poor state with its original stain and varnish peeling and in bad condition. We stripped the desk back and refinished it in a beautifully rich French Navy colour. This complements the original leather top and original heavy brass handles beautifully. The leather top is in excellent condition for its age with superb gold gilded border work, which also complements the Navy colour so well. It is a heavy , very well made desk that offers a very generous work surface.
We love the finished piece. A perfect blend of original antique and fresh bold contemporary design. A unique and stylish desk that offers real value for money and a statement desk.
Please note that the desk does not disassemble. You should double check that the desk will pass through all doorways and turns before purchasing. Any questions then please just ask us.

Read more1920’s Two Drawer Teachers Desk in Oak
£0FREE Delivery on this desk. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
A beautiful antique desk in solid English oak, dating from the late 192o’s. We sourced four of these desk directly from a school in Lancashire where they have been used since new. The school opened in 1921 and these desks were supplied a few years later. They are complete original with the LLC (Lancashire Council) stamp on each desk. The brass cup handles are also original. We adore the shape of the legs and that the desks are not too big for you to be able to accommodate at home. A very nicely sized work surface but not a mission to be able to get in to the room you need.
This will only get better with age and appreciate in value. A superb quality antique desk.

£0FREE Delivery on this desk. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
A beautiful antique desk in solid English oak, dating from the 193o’s. It was supplied by the Crown for Military or Civil Service use. These desks typically came from a Government office/ Public Service such as Civil Servant Offices, Schools, Railways etc. We restored the oak framework as the original brown finish was dark and very inconsistent. it looked very tired indeed! We re-finished it in a very flexible warm mid oak which always seems to be our most popular finish for desks. Both drawers are free running with original handles, stamped with the Crown and GR (George Regina). The top is the original gorgeous green finish, though does carry some cosmetic marks form its past. Nothing that detracts from the desk in any way but we like to point out any issues and also show in the photographs. The close up photographs make the marks look worse than they really are! Now very fresh and ready for regular use.
This will only get better with age and appreciate in value. A superb quality antique desk.
Please not that the desk does not disassemble. The top may be removed but would only change the depth by a few centimetres. You should double check that the desk will pass through all doorways and turns before purchasing. Any questions then please just ask us.
