1960’s Desk in Teak by Abbess with Leather Top
£0
FREE 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.
Dimensions:
167cm Wide, 91cm Deep, 76cm High

Read moreEarly 20th Century Hand Carved Elephant Side Table
£0FREE Delivery on this time within approximately 10 working days. More remote and rural areas will incur a charge.
An early 20th Century hardwood side table hand carved with elephants head and trunks as legs. A well constructed table with an unusual but vey popular style. Most probably carved in South East Asia originally, it has a beautifully aged ebonised colouring with original wood colour showing through in patches. Perfect patination from use. The top has splits where the original top was formed from planks rather than one solid piece of timber, but the table is solid and free from wobbles. We love it exactly as it is, in totally original condition, so we did not want to repair or restore and lose the gorgeous patina. All three elephants heads have both trunks in tact.
We think this is now a highly desirable and superbly stylish piece that would add a touch of chic to a variety of rooms/ interiors. It could be used as a side table for drinks, books, magazines etc or a lamp table or even a plant stand or towel table in the bathroom. A classic but very stylish piece.
Dimensions:
73.5cm High, 37cm Diameter top, max diameter approx 40cm at the widest point of the elephant heads.
