Description:
In addition, the desk comprises two large internal drawers and ten pigeonholes in the top section. Two pen trays sit alongside them, ideal for storing stationery, paperwork, letters and other accoutrements. The maker gave the top section an "S"-shaped design, so the desk stands freestanding at the centre of a room.
Condition Report:
As detailed above, this desk survives with seven drawers and a complete interior, all in excellent original condition. Our workshop has cleaned and hand French-polished the desk to a professional standard, so the colour and finish are excellent. There are no splits in the tambour, which, again, is common in this type of desk. There are nominal old-use marks to the leading edges, including the desktop and drawer bottoms. However, nothing is significant given the desk's age. There are no ink or water stains or scratches to the main desktop. As explained above, the original wooden locking mechanism still works correctly. It secures the tambour and both pedestals from a single brass lock. You must assemble the desk properly and stand it on a level surface for this to work correctly. A working lock, with two keys, secures the top section. This antique pedestal desk is well made, solid in its joints, and ready to use.
