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.
We have sold a number of these Abbess desks and they never hang around for long.
