This lovely desk features its idyllic beautiful Medium Oak colour and French polished finish which has been achieved though fully stripping and re-polishing this desk. This desk is complete with its lovely dark Green gold and blind tooled writing desk leather which is in used but great condition with some small wear marks and patina as expected with a used leather skiver.

The desk is also complete with all of its original quality Brass locks with brass escutcheons to front, all locks operate perfectly with its original key. The locks are stamped VR with a crown standing for Victoria Regina meaning they were produced in the Queen Victoria reign.
