Read more1960’s Oak Desk by Durrant 76cm Tall
£0FREE Delivery on this piece within approximately 150 miles of Cambridgeshire. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
An very smart 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 a solicitors office, where it had spent its whole life from new. We also have two other desks of the same design and size but standing 71cm tall, instead of 76cm as this one is. 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. The top drawer has its original working lock and key.
A super looking desk, very useable for regular working but a nice size for most people to be able to accommodate.
Overall Dimensions: 76cm High, 121.5cm Wide, 68cm Deep

Read moreEarly 20th Century Oak Desk from Cavendish Laboratory
£0FREE Ground Floor Delivery on this desk within approximately 150 miles of Cambridgeshire. Some more remote and rural areas will incur a charge.
This desk has an incredible provenance. It came out of the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University, where the first atom was split in April 1932. John Cockroft and Ernest Walton split the first atom at the Cavendish Laboratory. We have video evidence of the stairs to the laboratory and the office to the right, where this desk was. Clearly we can not say if either of these two pioneering scientists ever used the desk but the age and location fit perfectly.
The desk is beautiful in its own right. Dating from the late teens to early 1930’s it is presented in its original oak. We gave as little restoration to the piece as we could. We simply cleaned the desk, sanded and cleaned the internal drawer liners and also restored the top only. We wanted to keep as much of the desk in its original used condition as possible; whilst also offering a piece ready for a very lucky new owner to cherish. An rare opportunity to own a very special desk.
This size is superb for home/ home office/ study. Not too large but a really useful size work space.
The desk does not disassemble so please measure all door widths and access points (e.g. stairs, turning points) before purchasing.
