A very smart light mahogany partners desk, of useful size (i.e. not too big), having a light green hand tooled leather inset stepped top, with an arrangement of graduated drawers on one side with various divisions etc. and a pair of cupboards on the opposing side, with brass handles and working locks with keys.
Some of the locks are stamped S & P, B (for Shapland & Petter of Barnstable), and there is a Heal’s Contracts Ltd label affixed to the underneath of the top. Heal’s contracted certain firms such as S & P to make various lines of furniture for them around the 20’s and 30’s, including beds and more commercial / office pieces like this.
As useful today as it was ninety odd years ago.
Condition:
Some fading and wear but overall good and no issues. Handles likely not original (there are small plugged holes behind each one).
