A stunning example of an original early 20th Century antique desk by Maple & Co. (makers label inside of the drawer for authenticity). Maple and Co was one the largest and most successful British furniture retailers and cabinet makers in the Late 19th Century, Victorian and Edwardian periods. They were well known for fine quality, craftsmanship and were specialists in copying old designs but bringing them up to date to the more modern trends. They produced many quality pieces of antique furniture in designs such as Hepplwhite and Chippendale but also were well known for their quality Arts & Crafts Furniture.
This beautiful piece is presented in perfectly aged oak stunning turned legs and drawer handles. All from oak. We think it makes a beautiful desk with the superb aged colour and patina of the oak. It could equally be a dressing table or console table, should you choose. A perfectly flexible piece that could stay with you for years as it ages, moves room, moves home etc. There are a couple of repaired grain splits that have been re-glued and filled at some point. You would only notice if looking very closely for them but we like to point out the true condition of a piece. Please examine the photos carefully for an accurate representation and please ask if you have any questions. They may not even be noticeable to you if you do not know what you are looking for.

Read more1930’s Double Pedestal Teachers Desk from Gresham’s School
£0FREE Delivery on this desk. Some more remote and rural areas will incur a charge.
A fantastic solid and heavy oak desk that looks very contemporary and stylish. This desk dates from the 1930’s. It is a beautiful colour and size with plenty of storage within the six drawers. The desk has three drawers to the left pedestal, a central knee hole drawer and a double height filing style drawer to the right pedestal, with a further standard sized drawer above. Both pedestals also have pull out top shelves for drinks, resting books, mouse mat etc.
These desk are most commonly referred to as teachers desks now and this one certainly has been. It came to us from the very well respected Gresham’s private school in Holt, North Norfolk. It even had the Gresham’s Loan papers still in the drawers, all of the department’s contact telephone numbers (naughty!) and a POLO mint. In this size and condition with such perfect provenance, we don’t expect this desk to hang around for long.
