Art Deco Figured Walnut Leather Top Pedestal Desk

1920 - 1940
Description

A superb Art Deco figured walnut leather top pedestal desk, made in England and dating from the 1930’s.

This is of amazing quality, it is beautifully constructed from solid and veneered walnut. It is very study and heavy for its size, there is beautiful joinery with fine, hand cut dovetailed joints on the drawers. Above each bank of drawers there is a tray slide shelf that pulls out, even the surface of the slide shelves have gorgeous walnut grain patterns. There is a brown inset leather top with beautiful gold tooling in the Greek key design. The back of this is nicely finished, so it can be used as a free standing item.

We have had this stripped and re-polished to a very high standard, the condition is superb for its age.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Art Deco desks from the 1920s and 1930s feature geometric silhouettes, clean vertical and horizontal lines, and rich wood veneers such as figured walnut, mahogany, or burr maple. They often incorporate integrated storage, streamlined pulls or handles, and gilded leather writing inserts.

High-grade cabinetmakers utilized solid hardwood frames overlaid with decorative veneers like figured walnut or rosewood. Writing surfaces frequently feature gilt-tooled hide leather, complemented by cast brass or Bakelite hardware and hand-cut dovetail drawer joinery.

Authentic pieces display period-specific drawer construction, including hand-cut dovetails, original brass keyholes, and unpolished backing panels. The geometric proportions, lack of Victorian-style ornate carving, and rich figure of the natural wood grain distinguish period originals from modern reproductions.

Position the desk centrally to showcase the veneered back panel, pairing it with an ergonomic contemporary leather desk chair. Balance the dark timber tones against neutral walls, subtle metallic desk lamps, and geometric textile rugs.

Dust timber surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish annually along the wood grain. Clean the leather insert using dedicated leather balm, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying or cracking.
