A beautiful desk in solid English radial cut oak, dating from the turn of the 19th/20th century. It dates from around 1900-1920 and carries very distinctive Arts & Crafts movement lines and tapered legs. It is very well constructed and a good weight for its size; reflecting the quality of oak and carpentry used in its construction. The leather top is in a superbly aged green colour with gold patterned tooling to the edges. The leather is in exceptional condition for its age. An original oak gallery surrounds the sides and rear of the desk. The handles and locks are stunning quality in perfectly aged weighty brass. The hardware was supplied by Wilks Brothers in Sheffield (Est 1892 and closed in 1956) with stamps to prove.  One key is present that operates all locks, so all four drawers are lockable. The left hand drawer is double height for filing.  A truly beautiful solid desk oozing antique style and charm. If you re going to work from home, do in in real style. This desk is beautiful to own but also a superb investment desk.

All four drawers run freely and are very clean inside. The desk could also be used as a dressing table, a dress table or console table because it is so beautiful to look at.

This will only get better with age and appreciate in value. A superb quality antique desk.

There appears to be a small of repair to the front of the central kneehole desk (photographed) and one area of small damage to the front edge (photographed). Small and in no way detracting from the beauty of the desk but we like to point all imperfections out that may affect your decision to purchase.
