FREE Delivery on this piece. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
A very stylish and solid mid century oak desk handmade in oak. It dates from around the mid 1950’s and is in completely original condition but fully cleaned and gently restored by us. These are often referred to as old teachers desks but this one cam out of a post office in rural Warwickshire, where it spent its entire life. It presents itself in a beautiful golden oak colour and patina with a really nicely sized work surface for home use. With six free running drawers there is also a lot of very useful storage space. The bottom right hand drawer is a double height deep filing type drawer for extra storage.
English oak with quality dovetails joints to all five pedestal drawers. The drawer internals are also very clean.
The build and quality will mean these desks can only appreciate in value if looked after well.

Read more1930’s Globe Wernicke Stacking Bookcase in Oak
£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.
