Yolanda Gray Antiques has dated this piece to the 1860s.
There are three working drawers to both sides of the top section of the desktop, with the central drawer being the largest on both sides. The drawers retain the original working brass lever locks, with working keys. The drawers are mahogany lined, constructed with hand-dovetail joints and feature quarter beaded interiors (a sign of quality). The drawer fronts retain their original turned knobs. Each pedestal comprises three drawers and a cupboard, therefore a total of 12 drawers available. One of the pedestals incorporates a useful pull-out writing slide, situated within one of the pedestal cupboards. Both pedestals also include a locking cupboard to the rear, each with a moulded panel door, opening to reveal a removable / height adjustable shelf. The pedestals sit on their original moulded plinths, whilst retaining the original castors underneath.
