Fully refurbished 1920’s Double Pedestal Oak Desk
£0
FREE Delivery on this desk. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
A beautiful and stylish double pedestal desk dating from the 1920’s. These desks are often referred to as teachers desks. This one came to us with a leather top that was all warped and stained, with very tired and dull framework. We cleaned the desk and gently restored the beautiful radial cut English oak to bring it back to it best. The original leather top was beyond repair so we added a brand new quality leather top in a dark tan colour. The results hopefully speak for themselves. The oak grain is gleaming again and the top is a beautiful colour to complement the oak. Even the drawer internals are in oak, a real sign of the quality of handmade construction (by W H James, Birmingham). Finished with original handles the desk is back to its former glory.
A stunning desk and a real heavyweight – reflective of the age and quality of oak used in its construction. This will only get better with age and appreciate in value. A superb antique desk that looks gorgeous.
Dimensions:
137cm Wide, 76cm Deep, 76cm High
Kneehole – 51.5cm Wide, 61cm High

£0A stunning kitchen island handmade by us from 19th Century English Oak and turn of the Century antique pine frame. We love the styling of butcher’s blocks but aren’t so keen on the reality of their original use. So we created the style and practicality from original materials and kept all of the character of antique wood. We think it’s the best of both worlds and love the look and feel of this. Commissions can be taken to make these to your own specific measurements.

£0FREE Delivery on this item. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
A superb example of Globe Wernicke’s stacking ‘elastic’ bookcase. This is in the more rare and better quality oak veneer and radial cut oak, rather than the more common mahogany veneer ones. All glass and brass ware are original, together with the internal iron works for the ‘up and over’ scissor door lifts system. Pretty rare to see this on the Globe Wernicke’s.
Wernicke Co. produced the Elastic bookcase in Minneapolis, Minnesota in the late 19th Century (founded circa 1882) until they were bought by The Globe Files Co. in 1899. Wernicke invented the elastic bookcase and patented the designs.
Once Globe bought Wernicke the famous brand Globe-Wernicke began producing the elastic stack able book cases under patent in the USA. Thomas Turner also started marketing the design in England. Globe-Wernicke then expanded in to Canada, France, Belgium and Austria.
If you have any further questions or would like to view please contact us and we can certainly accommodate.
