£0FREE Delivery on this desk within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
An amazing desk in solid English oak, dating from the early 1930’s.

The beautiful brass cup handles also carry the GR stamps. The three generous drawers all run freely and have been sanded to their bottoms and cleaned. There are very light cosmetic marks and signs of use to the original green top but it is in exceptional condition for its age (and we have sold a fair few of these desks). Please see photographs.
We have had a number of these George V and George VI desks and they always sell so so quickly.
This will only get better with age and appreciate in value. A superb quality antique desk.

Read moreLarge 1930’s Desk in Farrow & Ball Off Black
£0FREE Ground Floor Delivery on this desk within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. Further afield locations will incur a surcharge to send via couriers.
A beautiful genuine antique desk in solid hardwood frame with pine drawers, dating from the early to mid 193o’s. It came to us in a very poor state with its original dark brown stain and varnish peeling and in bad condition. We stripped the desk back and refinished it in Farrow & Ball Off Black, with a clear wax for resilience and protection. This complements the original top and original refinished pine drawers. The top is in original but cleaned condition. The top does have cosmetic signs of its use.
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. It could also make a great dining table.
