Hingstons of Wilton has dated this piece to the Edwardian era.
This Edwardian walnut pedestal desk is of a superb size to use as a workstation.
It was made circa 1900, in one of the prestige workshops of the day.
The chamfered drawer fronts, the handles, and the fluted stiles running down the sides, and importantly the Hobbs & co locks give it this companies hallmark.
The drawer linings go 2/3rds of the way back, which is essential for good useful storage.
The desk with its inset gilt tooled leather writing surface with a good wide walnut border running around the edge.
Below the top is a wide central drawer above the kneehole. To each side of the kneehole are pedestals fitted with 3 graduated drawers. All the drawer linings are in fine mahogany.
The pedestals stand on good deep plinths with concealed castors under. The desk is finished and polished all the way around, so that you could use this standing away from the wall if required.
Constructed in 3 sections, this allows it to be moved easily around your home or office.
Please be aware of any pedestal desk of this period that is not made in 3 parts, as it would probably not have started life as a desk, may have been converted from a washstand or dressing table only for financial gain.
This quality of desk is difficult to find, not so many were made and were made for the professional classes of the day.
Imagine sitting at this desk and having the luxury of so much workspace as well as enjoying the quality of its cabinet work and selection of the solid walnut.
This Edwardian walnut pedestal desk is unique to us, you cannot compare this to others on the internet as they do not come with the Hingstons Antiques Brand guarantee, the desk has been chosen carefully and then restored before it can go into our stock to offer to you.
