Read more1960’s Oak Teachers Desk from Oakham School
£0FREE Delivery on this piece within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. Further afield locations will incur a surcharge to send via couriers.
A gorgeous mid century oak desk handmade and supplied by Durrant Office Furniture. It dates from around the early to mid 1960’s and is in completely original condition but fully cleaned and gently restored by us. This desk came to us from Oakham Private School in Rutland, where it had spent its whole life from new. It is presented in a beautifully aged oak colour and patina with a really nicely sized work surface for home use. The drawers run freely and have been cleaned and sanded back internally.
A super looking desk, very useable for regular working but a nice size for most people to be able to accommodate. The kneehole space is exceptionally generous, which enables the use of a larger more modern desk chair. Unusual for mid century kneehole desks!

Read moreOriginal 1950’s Teachers Desk by Abbess
£0FREE Delivery on this desk within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. Further afield areas will incur a surcharge to send via couriers.
An excellent example of the ever popular Abbess pedestal desk. These are often referred to as Teacher’s desks but this came from a private home in central Cambridge. This desk dates from around the mid to late 1950’s and is in excellent original condition. It retains all of its internal drawer liners with the Abbess stamp, together with its original stationery tray. It is in a gorgeous rich colour and a compact but very usable size. The original Abbess brass levelling feet are are still attached to the bottom of the legs. The feet can be wound out to level the desk on uneven floors or raise the whole desk height by around 30mm (maximum). A very good example indeed.
A great size offering a compact but fully functioning desk. The colour and condition are exactly right for a very stylish work/ study desk – or a teenager’s study desk?
We have sold a number of these Abbess desks and they never hang around for long.

£0FREE Delivery on this desk within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. Further afield areas will incur a surcharge to send via couriers.
A very stylish and superbly coloured mid Century desk in oak. We gently renovated the desk to restore it to its best aged condition.

Although compact the desk offers a generous and very usable work surface space, together with three good sized clean drawers and a pull out shelf for drinks, mouse mat etc. A super desk having all the style of a great mid Century desk (circa 1940-1950’s).

Read moreMid Century Teacher’s Desk in Beautiful Teak by Burndale
£0FREE Delivery on this piece within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
A very stylish mid century teacher’s desk in beautifully grained and coloured teak. It dates from around the late 1950’s to early 1960’s and is in beautiful condition, fully cleaned and gently restored by us. This desk came to us from a private owner in Lincolnshire. It is presented in a beautifully aged colour and patina with a really nicely sized work surface for home use. The desk looks almost as good form the back as it does from the front – mainly due to the very carefully selected teak grain giving such incredible uniformity! The drawers are all dove tail jointed and run very freely. The bottom right hand drawer is a double height filing drawer. There are two pull out shelves to the top of both pedestals – one just a shelf, the other containing the original plastic stationery tray stamped with the Burndale maker’s mark.
A super looking desk, very useable for regular working with such a generous work surface and all of that storage.

Read moreCompact 1960’s Desk by Abbess with removable legs
£0FREE Delivery on this desk within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. Further afield areas will incur a surcharge to send via couriers.
A very cute and stylish desk table by Abbess. Made from a beautifully rich Walnut and walnut veneer it could be used as a desk, if space is tight, or a cute dressing table? The legs even reomve with four simple wing nuts if your access pace is tight. It could equally be a great desk for a child or teen. Made around the late 1960’s to early 1970’s it retains the Abbess label inside the drawer and is stamped to the bottom of the drawer. Superb Retro styling and a great colour. There are cosmetic marks to the top, as to be expected but none are deep or anoything other than useage marks over the years. Very small indeed but please see photographs for an accurate representation.
