Description

A smart and very well made antique mahogany leather top pedestal desk. This was made in England, it dates from around the 1930’s.

It is a great size, offering lots of work space and storage space. There is a beautiful inset leather top, the sides and back are nicely finished and panelled, so this can be used as a free standing item. The drawers have fine quality brass handles and there is a double filing drawer on the lower right side.

We have had this recently re-polished, the condition is excellent for its age. There is just some minor wear remaining beneath the polish here and there, commensurate for age.

The top lifts off and this breaks down into three pieces for ease of transport.

Width – 60 inches , 153 cm

Depth – 36 inches , 91 cm

Height – 29 inches , 74 cm

FAQs

Pedestal desks, often featuring a twin pedestal design with banks of drawers flanking a central kneehole, gained immense popularity during the Georgian and Victorian eras as essential furniture for studies and libraries.

Authentic period pedestal desks are typically crafted from dense hardwoods like mahogany or oak, featuring hand-dovetailed drawer construction, brass hardware, and inset leather writing surfaces with gilt tooling.

Authenticity can be verified by inspecting the timber for age-related patina, checking for hand-cut dovetails on the drawer joints, observing secondary woods in the drawer linings, and examining the wear patterns on the leather and brasses.

Pair the traditional dark wood and leather textures with minimalist seating, modern lighting, and neutral surroundings to create a balanced focal point in a home office or library.

Maintain the timber by applying high-quality beeswax periodically, avoid direct sunlight to protect the leather insert and wood finish, and keep the furniture away from excessive heat sources to prevent cracking.
