Regency Mahogany Pedestal Desk

19th century
Description

A Fine Quality Early 19th Century, Regency Period, Mahogany Pedestal Desk Of Nice Small Proportions, Having Attractive Gilt Tooled Leather Inset To Crossbanded Top, Over Nine Drawers To Front Retaining Original Turned Wooden Knobs And Three False Drawers Plus Two Panelled Cupboard Doors To Reverse, Raised On Original Plinth Base With Castors.

Georgian and Victorian pedestal desks vary wildly in style, shape, size, finish and quality, and this is a great example of its type, in terms of being a small, compact mahogany example, but very good quality indeed and extremely well put together.

Another feature of note is the cupboard doors to the reverse which is a very unusual feature for such a relatively small desk to have. It it however very cleverly designed to ensure that there is enough overhang at the top and bottom to ensure that one can use it just as happily up against a wall as one could in the middle of a room.

The size is of course a breath of fresh air for those with little available floor space to set up a working from home environment, as it manages to be big enough and offer enough storage for practical day to day working whilst noty being too imposing in a room.

The desk does come into three pieces for ease of transportation as is common for this period and that of course makes it even easier to get into absolutely any location around the home which the purchaser desires.

As with all items which we offer for sale this 19th century desk has been attended to in our workshops, by our highly skilled, trained antique furniture restorers and received a traditional wax polish finish to ensure that it is absolutely ready to be placed straight into a home, or office environment.

Circa 1830.

Height 29.5in.

Width 48in.

Depth 26.5in.

Kneehole Dimensions 23.75 High x 19in Wide & 18in Wide At Very Bottom.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Designed during the early 19th century in Britain, a Regency pedestal desk features a rectangular top resting on two free-standing pedestals containing drawers, often inset with a leather writing surface.

Craftsmen typically utilised dense Cuban or West Indian mahogany, featuring dovetail drawer joints, brass locks, and gold-tooled leather inserts.

Look for hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass escutcheons, hand-planed drawer linings, and rich natural patination consistent with early 19th-century mahogany.

Pair the structured wooden desk with a contemporary desk chair, modern brass lighting, and minimalist art to create a balanced study space.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth, apply beeswax polish sparingly to the woodwork, and keep the leather writing surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking.
