Viewing available at our farm warehouse in Clackmannan Scotland.
One of the best desks we have seen in 50 years of dealing antique desks. Aside from the desk in the US White House, it would be hard to find an equal.
Alas after reviewing our images, I realise I need to visit supersavers! I will endeavour to produce better images if required. As I am unable to replace main image on this listing.
With some confidence I will say this will be one of most exceptional examples of its type.presently offered anywhere in the UK. At its peak about 20 years ago, this desk would have been in the £50,000-£70,000 price range.
