Read moreMid Century Schoolmasters Desk
£0FREE Delivery on this desk. Some more remote and rural areas will incur a charge.
A really good old schoolmaster / mistress desk. This came out of a school in Holmfirth in West Yorkshire. It dates from around the 1960’s. The desk offers lots of storage with 7 drawers and the centre kneehole drawer retains its original working lock and one key. The desk has been well used and well loved and carries the cosmetic wear and tear you would expect for a desk of this age form a school. It is however, structurally very sound with all joints firm. The top is also original and in super condition for its age with only one sign of heavy wear to comment on (please see photograph). We love the rich colour of this, together with the well used and tarnished handles and its original deep green top.
A super stylish old school desk and a really good desk for home or work.

Read more1970’s Handmade Double Pedestal Desk
£0FREE Delivery on this desk. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
A very attractive and stylish double pedestal desk dating from the 1970’s. This desk was handmade by a carpenter in Newcastle for his daughter to study for her A Levels. He made it in his shed at the bottom of the garden. She was the first member of his family that stood a chance of going to University!
This style of desk is often referred to as teachers desks but this one was definitely a study desk. We love the story, the handmade imperfections and the aged colour and patina of it. It is now available for somebody else to love and use.
Please check all photographs for the condition of the desk. Should you need any more detailed pictures, just ask. We ask that you check all measurements of the desk to make sure it can pass through doorways and access points before making a decision to purchase.

Read moreLarge Handmade Mid Century Desk in Mahogany
£0FREE Shipping on this item. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
A beautiful mid Century desk dating from around the 1960’s. It is large and heavy, reflecting the quality of solid mahogany and the carpentry. It is fully hand made and quite unique in design. It is very reminiscent of minimalist Scandinavian in design but the writing from the carpenter looks European/ possibly French. We believe it would have been a bespoke made piece, certainly not mass produced.
We adore the style, size and colour of the desk. So much work space on that long sleek top and eight very generous drawers for storage. Each drawer has its own quality brass lock. A beautiful quality and individual desk. What a joy this would be to work from?

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.
